Dream Wide Awake Blog:
Empowering Your Shift from Daydreaming to Dream Doing
October 04 - Taking things too personally?
October 04 - Taking things too personally? Do you feel annoyed and irritated whenever someone does not agree with you, or when something doesn't occur exactly as you had hoped? Do you find yourself immediately being defensive or emotionally reactive
in certain situations? Do you find yourself revisiting things that irritate or annoy you over and over in your mind or even with others to the point of distraction? What is occurring in all of these instances is that you are taking things too personally. When someone disagrees with you, it is not an attack on you, it is merely their perspective. You can either accept what a person is saying to you or not
accept it. In a majority of cases, it is not directed at you, but merely responding to you or sharing thoughts with you. Understand this and you can respond versus react and converse without feeling a need to defend. When something doesn't occur as you had hoped, it should not be viewed as an attack against you or an indication there is something wrong with you. It is merely transpiring as it needed to transpire. The different outcome may be trying to tell you that adjustments, more
learning, more information, or a myriad of other things may be needed to succeed. When something continues to gnaw at you emotionally, it is a clear sign that you have made it about you and are allowing it to personally affect and impact you. This is neither productive nor energizing. Take an MM&I Moment to READ MORE including: - Insights to
shift from assumptions and taking this personally to inner strength and clarity.
- A Wide Awake Quote of the week by Paul Broca.
