Simply Human
It’s so easy for us to look at a person and assume to know everything they are going through and what they are feeling; all from looking at them.
I recently started back attending therapy consistently…As a result of life seemingly spiraling and the constant feel of not being enough began to take a toll on me. Yes me! What an imposter!
It’s so easy for us to look at a person and assume to know everything they are going through and what they are feeling; all from looking at them.
That is usually our first mistake.
We do that in more ways than one. We assume that all of the rich celebrities and influencers are having the time of their life; but that is only because we see them when they are smiling.
Today, I challenge you to treat everyone as if they are battling something. By treating other people with a little more sensitivity, we will be able to see them for who they are; HUMAN. By seeing others as simply human, we are able to build a genuine connection with the human race.
Is there someone whom you have looked at, as being greater than life? I challenge you to look deeper than the surface to see the real them. We are all…..SIMPLY HUMAN.
Peace, Love, & Light
What's most important? Healthy Boundaries!
I was expecting him to say “well, what did you do?” or “maybe you should have…” because I had become so used to everyone else telling me how I was wrong for speaking my mind or holding people accountable to my boundaries. I had become so accustomed to it… that I had begun to relax those same boundaries I was trying to enforce.
As I finished wiping the tears on my face, while looking at my therapist through the computer screen, in shame… it was that moment when everything had begun to make sense.
I was expecting him to say “well, what did you do?” or “maybe you should have…” because I had become so used to everyone else telling me how I was wrong for speaking my mind or holding people accountable to my boundaries. I had become so accustomed to it… that I had begun to relax those same boundaries I was trying to enforce.
And I needed the reminder….
After I finished sobbing away, with snot running down and all, he looked at me and said…. “it sounds like you are trying to figure out how to create healthy boundaries.”
In that moment, all I could do was look at him like… “wow, you are so right!” I had been trying to enforce all of these boundaries, that they were smoke and mirrors. They weren’t getting to the heart of the problem and what I needed. I needed to be clear, concise, and I MUST stick to them.
It was that moment when I remembered… we can’t control a person’s actions; but we can control the access they have to you.
So long story short…. If the person or situation is unable to respect it; then you need to walk away and never look back. #liveoutloud
