Love To Fellow Boat Rockers
Sending Out Love
If you are a fellow Boat Rocker, I am sending you my love today. You are brave. I admire you. I love us.
While I was growing up, I was accidentally Boat Rocking with my natural curiosity. OK, I was just freaking nosey. I was also the family megaphone, announcing, “THERE IS A PROBLEM HERE.”
My fellow Boat Rockers, I am sending you love because you are likely in conflict with someone important in your life. Or maybe a lot of people.
Are You In Conflict?
How do you honor your awesome creativity, fiery nature and need to Rock Boats, without being constantly in conflict with everyone? Of course, you will find your own way, but some thoughts:
Get a Boat Rocking job. They are out there. I decided to become a professional Boat Rocker — a coach and speaker. Sure, the big organizations didn't like it, but I went into private practice where I could rock my clients' world and get paid for it.
Respond, don't react. It's natural when we are irritated to respond with 100 gigawatts blistering heat. (#IYKYK) Make a plan before you waste a lot of time and energy on the wrong stuff. See #3.
Do they deserve you? This is actually another way of saying "Choose your battles." (Wait! Don't stop reading!) Apply your beautiful energy where it is needed most. In my 20’s and 30’s, I liked being the outspoken one, especially when other people were playing safe. Now that I am older, I am strategic with Boat Rocking. Not everything deserves my time and energy. Most things don’t, actually.
Connect with other Boat Rockers. The world can feel like a lonely place when you are sticking out. Find your tribe and find out how they handle conflict in healthy ways to save your time, energy and health.
