As a recovering ‘people pleaser’ I’ve come to learn:
I am responsible for my feelings…
You are responsible for yours.
Period.
This hasn’t been an easy lesson for me to learn because, as the very sensitive empath I am, I feel everything, so if something is out of line I can tell.
And that very sensitive empath just wants to make everyone feel better…
But it’s made a world if difference to me to be able to let go.
Your emotions are your responsibility. Period.
Over the last few months I’ve really zoned in on this lesson because I’ve actually found myself in a very peaceful place lately…. except for when I’m not.
Lol, let me explain
It only takes one trigger to bring a person out of alignment.
And I’ve felt very much in alignment with myself and my life lately, so when I have been triggered I know instantly… and I know what’s caused it.
And having felt this alignment so strongly within myself I’ll do just about anything to get back there as quickly as possible.
It’s peaceful.
It’s joyous.
It’s light hearted.
It’s optimistic.
It’s courageous.
It’s respectful.
It’s kind and very very loving.
But you see you can only find this place when you are ready to take FULL responsibility for your emotions.
It does not matter one little bit who said or did what or who was right or who was wrong.
All that matters is that you are not in a place of alignment with yourself and that needs to be addressed.
You are the only one who can hurt you, through your perceptions, belief systems, and expectations.
But also, you are the only one who can heal you…
You need to be willing to address all feelings you are experiencing inside.
They are not good or bad…
but they will lead you to the peace you’ve been seeking.
That peace will never be found outside of you, it’s only something that can be found inside, if your willing to go there.
