During challenging times for relationships of all kind, stopping & reflecting brings a new perspective and help us to observe our contribution to it.
**We spend a lot of time at work, our relationships there are important** 👥
When we **hit a wall with a colleague** it takes a lot of energy, stress and inefficiencies in our daily tasks.
Have you ever gotten stressed about sending an email to a colleague? 😅
By listening to myself (to my inner voice, to my body) have helped me to start observing it. 👂
Then, observing it 👀 like an outsider has helped me to put myself on the other's shoes. Empathy does its thing at this stage.
**People are stories, wounds not healed, as we all have.** 💕
Finally, I **proactive open an space to talk**. I like to listen first, all that is being said, not just words. Then I use my voice. Or vice versa as needed.
**Not all relationship's challenges can be solved** (I have learned to accepted that), but I honor them, **by opening the space anyways**.
From my research 🤓 ...
Observing 👀
Reflecting 🤔
Opening an space to talk 👥
Listening 👂 ⚖ Speaking 🗣
👂What is being said, but the most important…
👂💛 **What is not being said.**
And **when we start listening deeply, we can listen to fears, our own and others**.\
\
I wonder why we don't talk about dragons 🐉 at work. 🤭\
\
I wonder why we don't talk about fears.\

As an individual who explored them a lot in therapy, and I have experienced the benefit of it, I wonder, why no-one talks about them at workplaces.
**Have you ever asked your team...What is their biggest fear?** 🤔
Talking about fears at work could feel uncomfortable at the very beginning, but exploring them is a way to connect with others while realizing we share a lot of them.
**Overcoming them with others could bring a lot of relief too.**
Fears limit our actions, decisions and our ideas to blow.
Using tools like LEGOs helps us to explore the unconscious mind 🖤 🧠, where most of the fears have their residence. From where most of the decisions are made 😅
🌱 With Mini figures and blocks we **can project a situation** that you or your team is going through.
🌱 As we project it, you can **detach emotionally from it** and you **become an observer** of it.
🌱 You can only change, what you can **observe with** **full presence**.
🌱 **Playing** does exactly that, **brings us to the present moment**.
**By using LEGOs we can bring perspective and spark more creative solutions.**
Ignoring fears at work means ignoring we are... just humans.
So step by step, we made our workplaces more human.
**Deep listening breaks down walls.**
**And that is what The World 🌎 strongly needs these days.**
**In the end, what is really behind any wall, it is a wound not healed.**
Stay colorful!
