DAY 9 - Remember
Who and what will you remember today?
Todays Prompt: DAY 9 - Remember
Who and what will you remember today?
Being a witness to a person’s emerging growth means noticing the little movements that are the precursors to change. It is both an an of noticing and of remembering.
It took me a while to notice when I was giving unsolicited advice.
Then I had to remeber why it made sense to not do that anymore.
And then I had to remember to stop doing that and to give empathy instead.
It was a process. A process of noticing, of un-learning, and of re-learning.
There is so much to learn in MI, and so much to unlearn.
So much to remember.
Today I remember both my teachers in MI, and those who taught me by negative example what not to do. I also remember those persons I was not able to help because I did not know then what I know now.
These memories motivate me to keep going, keeo learning, and to keep passing the things that have potantial to make the world a more loving, happier, and kinder place.
What are you working on today? What is your next step in learning MI?
Wishing you a great day of practicing and remembering.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. - Abraham Lincoln

As I deepen my MI practice, I’m paying attention to the flow of energy—before, during, and after sessions—and being intentional about how I engage. I shift between observing and helping, anchored by a sense of curiosity and care. One step at a time, day by day!
I will remember my parents today, the ones that love us and often hurt us the most; I remember them for all the good and bad things they did. I do my best not to give unsolicited advice to my own children. Being grateful I was loved and being aware what I should not do anymore.
