We all have families. Some of them are biological, others through adoption or fostering, and still others through marriage. These relationships will likely be the biggest influences in our lives. They are the people who raise us, lead us, model for us, and ultimately teach us to be the people we become.Most of the lessons (or rules) we learn from them will be positive: how to speak, eat, interact, work, walk, drive, etc. Other lessons can be negative, inhibiting, or even destructive for us. The majority of these lessons aren't intentional. Our parents and families will simply be raising us, and we will absorb these "life lessons" into our malleable subconsciouses.In fact, even after becoming adults many of these life lessons will remain subconscious. They won't be considered, thought about, or reflected upon; instead, they will simply be unconscious marching orders that steadily and predictably direct our lives.If we are comfortable in all the areas of our lives, we may not want to consider addressing these topics. However, for the VAST majority of us have areas where we shine and other areas that are limiting our potential and well-being.Fortunately, addressing these lessons isn't complicated. It doesn't take years of therapy, psychoanalysis, or deep cognitive processing. It simply requires that we take inventory of our experiences, interpret how they may be affecting us, and make intentional decisions to reformat how we are experiencing the world.
