I’ve been sitting here for 20 minutes trying to come up with a witty introductory paragraph, but I am feeling more reflective than witty this morning. So I’ll skip the introduction and share three thoughts that I have been mulling over the past couple of weeks. I hope they bring you the peace and freedom they have brought me.
So yes the “taking life and things too seriously” club. And the feeling responsible for things that aren’t my responsibility. I’m in that one too. This post really resonated with me. I often don’t notice the tenseness and stress until it’s too late. But having a hard time breaking the very ingrained patterns.
The "being disliked" part really fits me like a glove right now, I really needed that. Right at the start of it, the phrase "sharpen our emotional maturity" was instantly highlighted in my mind, not only as a reminder of growth but as a warning – there is still growth to do, it is a process. Thank you!
Thanks for the reflection and wisdom, it felt really resonant this week. I think I too easily let other people's opinions of me direct how I spend my energy, seeking validation instead of accepting my authentic self.
I'm totally team taking life too seriously... Sometimes it gets so bad that I feel like I'm losing out on something if I'm not engaged or busy....
Thanks for this reminder...
