🛑✋🛑STOP living a lie.🛑✋🛑
What’s the lie?? That you’re responsible for other people’s feelings and emotions. That it’s YOUR fault when THEY feel disappointed, upset, or pi**ed off.
No, no, no, no, no! 🙅♀️
Even if you said something cruel or did something sh1tty (even when you were a disconnected a$shole), if they’re triggered, they’re being shown what’s coming up for THEM to heal (and so are you).
Because if they didn’t already feel that way about themselves or need to forgive themselves for doing the same s**t, they wouldn’t care what you said or did (or didn’t say or do).
It would be like you telling them you hate their blue hair when their hair isn’t blue.
You don’t have to take their feelings on. You don’t have to blame yourself. You can even use the experience to get more intimate with yourself.
How? By paying attention to how YOU feel. By asking yourself:
🔥 How do I feel? What do I need to soothe my nervous system?
🔥 Do their feelings match the situation or are they projecting their past onto me? (Meaning, is their response warranted or is it blown out of proportion for what feels like “no reason”?)
🔥 Is there anything they said/did that I need to pay attention to about myself?
🔥 Can I accept them exactly as and where they are? (If not, why not?)
🔥 How am I inspired to respond (if at all)?
You aren’t responsible for other people’s feelings, but you ARE empowered to create your own. 💜💥
