So a group of the blogs all disappeared. They were there one day and the next they were gone. It left one of two choices to never blog again or to lean in. This requires the ability to start over and build something new.

To Lean In

To lean into something is to make the concise decision to go after it versus releasing it. Let it be clear in this moment that somethings, people, and certain situations need to be released in order for full potential to be realized. It should also be clear in this moment that growth sometimes requires that those same three areas are leaned into. Couples as well as individuals are constantly evolving and as a result of this the person that you were or you met ten years ago is not the same person that will face you today. Therefore it is critical to explore leaning in when appropriate.

Triple C Your Way To Something Different

Check it, Challenge it, and Change it. The first step in any change is to check what one has. It requires a level of honesty in which you look at a situation or person without judgement in order to acknowledge what exist. For example if buying a new car is desired the first thing one must do is check to see if they are in position to do this. When leaning into something we must first be aware of what it is that we are leaning into. If we operate from a clear lens it helps us to be able to begin the exploration of leaning in.

Therapy rather individually or as a couple provides a space for exploration while checking in. The next step is challenging. The reality is that the only person a person can fully control is themselves. Therefore when challenging is being done it becomes what can I do and what is in my control? How do I show up or not show up that may impact the situation? Are there boundaries I need to set? Am I being honest? Is there a different way? Exploring with a therapist can provide a non judgmental space for a person to lean into each of these thoughts.

Lastly it becomes what can be changed ? When leaning into the Triple C's it is important to realize that sometimes change can occur. It is also important to realize that sometimes change is out of ones scope of control. It is at that point that exploring if the situation cannot adjust in what way are you willing to adjust in or out of the situation.

Making the decision to lean in requires a boldness and starts with a true exploration of the three C's.
