Hands up if you’ve spent a significant portion of your time on this earth desperately worrying about what other people think of you… 🙋🏽♀️ Here’s something you don’t know about me: I used to be freakishly good at holding it in when I had to pee. Weird brag, I know.
This resonates with me sooo much. And you summarized it perfectly with these words:
"The real goal isn’t being liked by everyone, but letting go of the need to be liked by everyone.
That shit is a long and difficult process."
I've spent YEARS trying to de-program myself from that way of thinking. I'm just about there. But unfortunately, I hear it whenever I am around my mother. It makes me IN-sane. I try to point out to her why she needs to think differently. But it's impossible. I see where I learned it from and am proud that I've recognized how unhealthy and just wrong it is. I'm aware of my thoughts most days. And thrilled with my growth.
Awh thank you Nan! I'm not sure I'm calling anyone anywhere, I'm just really aware that we're living in this online time that's normalised deep judgements of people's entire character based on... sometimes nothing! Just isn't very human and isn't a space I personally want to be pulled into anymore :) 💜
Couldn't agree more 💗 what I meant by calling in is that it is a kind way to teach each other things we have learned.
As opposed to calling people "out" and chastising and isolating them.
I believe it's a kinder return to a more interconnected human state. Where we support each other with kindness, knowledge and the grace of knowing we are all on a journey of self discovery.
