We have to remember that the way people perceive us and how they show up to us is always about their personal interpretations.
Their “truth” is always filtered through their lens. Which is often fogged by their own personal s**t. (Trauma, stress, unexpressed expectations, assumptions) The same is true for us. No one is an exception here.
We don’t have to agree with someone to be a supportive human. We can simply do our best to empathize and validate their emotions/feelings even if we disagree with their narrative.
We don’t have to take anything someone says or does personal (even when they make it personal).
Easier said than done, I know…your ego wants to protect you from judgement and criticism. It wants to defend and fight back.
Yet, your inner wise man/ woman knows to let other peoples’ s**t be theirs. We all have enough of our own mess to clean up to be taking on other people’s too.
So the key is just to continue to show up with as much integrity and love as possible.
The more often we practice this the more personal freedom and peace we will have.
The more we practice empathy and understanding for those who may criticize or judge the more we help break down the walls around their heart they’ve built to protect themselves.
If we love people well…we can even help to heal the wounds underneath their false projections.
Lastly, the more we focus on who we be and how we show up the more certainty, strength, and confidence we create within ourselves.
So again, I invite you to zoom out and to practice taking on the CEO perspective: become a compassionate empowered observer.
Do this for yourself and others because everyone is worthy of being seen without our own personal judgements weighing in.
