SHOW what you want
Susan Kim
I went to a childbirthing class over the weekend. Lots of information - some new and some a verification of what I already knew. And some were both! (I always knew that women have to dilate 10 cms before the pushing starts, however, I had never actually SEEN what 10 cms looks like. Truly a jaw dropping moment!)
I appreciated one exercise in particular - the massage. What was interesting about THIS massage is that the instructor had the pregnant women massage their partners first. WHY??? So that we could show them exactly how we wanted to be massaged. I thought this was GREAT and made a lot of sense.
How will our partners know how we like things done if they don’t experience it themselves?
The exercise worked beautifully because once we switched places and my partner starting massaging me, it was perfect! The experience reminded me of the Golden Rule, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
Sometimes we forget how significantly our own actions determine how we’re treated.
Next time, instead of “communicating” what you want, have them experience it and SHOW them what you want.
Make Happiness Yours!
