Hey friend, Welcome to another edition of The Wisdomous! The past week was very kind to me. I met friends, had a grâce matinée on Sunday and put effort into a recently learnt technique; holding space.Holding space means to be with someone without judgment. To donate your ears and heart without wanting anything back. To practice empathy and compassion. To accept someone's truth, no matter what they are. To allow and accept. Embrace with two hands instead of pointing with one finger. To come in neutral. Open. For them. Not you. Holding space means putting your needs and opinions aside and allow someone to be. Her. Self.In short, “Holding space is the process of witnessing and validating someone else’s emotional state while simultaneously being present to your own.”This is hasn't been easy for me as I tend to be the "fixer" type. Still, I am developing my empathy muscle and learning to lend an ear to friends without offering advice, giving insights, handing them solutions, bombing them with alternatives. I am learning to do better for my friends. I hope someone in your life holds space for you.
