Taking Things Personally

When I take things others say or do personally, I find myself quickly pulled away from being emotionally sober.

I go to a place where I can feel wronged, belittled, stupid, afraid, angry, etc.

I find myself judging myself or others.

When I take things personally I am pulled quickly from my heart and directly into a dark and lonely cave in my head.

With wisdom I see that "taking things personally" is something I learned and have adopted into my thoughts and behaviour.

For the month of September I'm going to examine how often I take things personally and work towards reparenting myself by focusing on a different message I can tell myself, one which is more loving and compassionate.

My goal is not so much NOT to take things personally, but rather to be more aware of how often I do take things personally for 30 days and having a deeper understanding of what the underlying message is for me.

Feel free to join me!

Please comment below if you feel so inclined as we do this inner work together.

Be kind and gentle with yourself,
