The holiday season is coming, and you may be looking forward to being with your brothers, sisters, and chosen siblings. Or maybe you’re dreading it. Or maybe you avoid each other over the holidays, because it’s such a charged time of old expectations and seemingly fixed dynamics.
But you can choose to lay the foundation for smoother interactions now. It takes one person to shift a relationship dynamic. Why not be proactive?
If you are tired of reliving outgrown patterns, you can set a new intention to disrupt them. You can update the energetic template that has guided your interactions with a sibling. This might mean you choose to act from Trust, Openness, Love, Gratitude, and True Respect. Or something essential like that.
You can create more space and compassion for your individual paths and ways of being in the world, This is how you can start to see and treat each other as unique people who happen to share parents and upbringing.
Just as you want your family to see you for who you’ve become, you can shift the lens through which you see your siblings. You can find a new way to move forward in this lifelong connection.
“Siblings: children of the same parents, each of whom is perfectly normal until they get together.”
-Sam Levenson
