The PEOPLE CODE is 10 check points to help us change our focus, so that we take back the reigns of how we feel into our own hands. When we do, our relationships naturally become more loving, supportive and fun.
P: People-Pleasing. Are you doing this? It can lead to burn out or force us to compromise our values in some way. In contrast, true generosity doesn’t burn us out or compromise us. Where are you on this scale?
E: Energy. Are you aware of what type of energy you are radiating? Is it happy… low… calm… angry… grateful? Our energy is deeply connected to our sense of meaning, belonging and purpose. Are you living on purpose?
O: Openness with ourselves. Are you open to your inner qualities and strengths everyday? Do you use them everyday?
P: Peace. Are you rooted in peace? Have you ever explored what peace is? Ask yourself: What is peace? What does it look like? How does it show itself?
L: Love. We tend to look to others for love. What is love? What does it look like? What is it made up of? In this way we begin to generate love within ourselves
E: Ego. Is your sense of identity rooted in ego or is deeper than this? When it is deeper, we are more secure and less reactive.
C: Compassion. Understanding, love, caring, patience, easiness and peacefulness all make up compassion. Compassion is linked to recognizing that we are all valuable and that it is other’s pain that makes them unbending.
O: Overwhelm. Too many thoughts? Scattered thinking? Stop drowning in all those thoughts for a moment, be still and focus on your inner serenity.
D: Differences. Do you feel threatened by differences? Instead, take a breath and suspend judgement for a moment – it is OK to differ.
E: Emerge. Focus on and use your own values, qualities and strengths in your everyday interactions with others. You can’t go wrong when you do.
