What is most important?
When you hear the question, “what is most important to you?” what are your immediate thoughts? Most people will list a few things they feel are the most important to you them. The next question to ask is, “where do I place the most energy?” Not necessarily time, but energy (emotional/mental/physical). The answer to question number two is usually the answer to question number one. For example, a person might say their family is the most important and family IS very important. If the person spends the majority of their energy on worry, fear and/or survival, the latter energies might just be more important - or predominant in this case. A person might respond with ‘I have worry and fear because my family is so important’. There might just be a different reason why the fear and worry are predominant in one’s immediate environment.
Sometimes what is seemingly the obvious is not the actual cause but a symptom - and something to which a person can logically connect.
We all want things to make sense and many times, we have to dig to find the deeper answer in order to create strong and lasting resolution.
This is an example of how we assist our group members in a peer-based setting. We help people look at things a little differently so they can arrive to an answer that will assist in strong movement forward in their life journey.
