I also often feel caught between being honest and keeping the peace; I appreciated some of Nina’s insights in how to “speak the truth in love” to cultivate a depth of relationship we all long for. I also am working on seeing conflict as a gift, to lean into it, rather than trying to resolve the tension.

I happen to like peace but the dang honesty thing….

I hope when we are able to be ourselves, others are more free to be themselves. That would also proabably make for more robust relationship/connection too because we aren’t trying to hide something about ourselves.

This takes a great deal of self-awareness. This inspires me to go deeper with each of mine. Thanks for the prompting!

Thanks Dave, I appreciate it!

I think I’ve tried different intentional practices depending on the value. For example with creativity, I have time on my calendar each week to specifically practice it, however, honestly it is one of the first things I tend to let go when I get busy or overwhelmed.

I think practices around the rest tend to involve intentional self-care. If I’m taking care of myself – physically, emotional, spiritually – I feel much more equipped to honor my values.

How about you?

I resonated with a lot of what you said including masking yourself in social situations, choosing to keep the peace over being honest, and pushing aside creativity when life gets busy. Nina’s quote of “when I’m not valuing myself, I also struggle more to value others” is so powerful. I wonder are there any intentional practices that have helped you to keep these values at the forefront of your life?
