It's Not Your Job

It's not your job to manage other people's emotions!

Taking ownership is a choice you have to make. That comes to finances, health, your thoughts, your habits, your words, your actions, etc.

Typically it's not hard to take ownership of one aspect of your life. In fact, you're really good at that one thing.

But then there are those things we make excuses for...

If they would, I would...

I got into this situation because of ...

I'm late because...

Did you ever stop and listen to your excuses...

Taking ownership means noticing when you're making excuses and asking yourself "Do I you want to give my power away"?

Everytime you give your power away, you are choosing to make someone else responsible for what only you can change.

You don't have to engage with someone who says mean things or makes excuses for their behavior.

When you are seeking a "fix" or are avoiding a feeling or emotion you may keep reaching for the cookies, the snacks, the credit card... Anything to bring relief and help you feel good for a moment and then what....

When you refuse to take ownership and process through those uncomfortable feelings and emotions, that's when you keep going back for the "quick fix" which then leaves you with more self-loathing and shame.

You are not meant to give your power away...

You are not meant to manage other people's feelings and emotions...

You are meant to live a life fully engaged with your experiences... Present ... Noticing... At Rest..

And when you learn how to be present with all your feelings and emotions, you can process through them and decide your intentional action.
