If so, here’s a remedy to help shake them off!
Regardless of how you may be feeling, stepping into Partner with those you are around at home, work, and even the grocery store will help reduce those negative feelings. Our ego can play it’s sneaky role leading us to focus inwardly on our problems and stressors without considering those around us. The truth is we never know how bad someone else’s day might be. Danger danger!! This can bring down our energy in a flash.
So what to do?
First show compassion and be gentle with yourself, especially if you are feeling triggered, angry or impatient. Then ask yourself, “How can I positively engage with this person?”. Your Partner behavior can be the catalyst for encouraging responses from others and induce pride in yourself for not slipping into Predator or Prey. Most importantly, you get back on track for a happy, successful and stress free start to the year.
I encourage you to use this as a daily practice. Invite yourself to flex your Partner muscles in even the smallest of exchanges. I can guarantee the results will not only astound you, they will fill you with joy and delight. This approach may just turn your ‘January Blues’ into January Jubilation! Make Partner mode your daily program for the remainder of this month. It is infectious!

Happy Partnering!
