It’s okay to feel frustrated, angry, or upset. And it’s okay to honor/acknowledge how you’re feeling.
But it’s wrong to act mean because of those emotions. Being angry doesn’t justify lashing out.
This is a tough thing to implement, especially in the moment, but thought it would at least be worth noting
Random thought: what if you consider health and wellness a hobby?
Sounds a bit odd, but I feel there can be an unhealthy focus on weight. Despite that, people struggle with their health
Perhaps it’s our perspective? It’s almost like a live or die/war zone in regards to health. We think I have to lose x amount of weight or I have to do this/that.
What if we viewed it like a hobby that we enjoy? Then it’s like “ooo! I can eat this instead of that!” Maybe it’s the type of energy we put into it. If we view it kind of like work, it may drag kind of like work and that’s not what we want for ourselves.
Instead, maybe view it as a cool thing you can build on
Considering viewing through the lens of curious objectivity
What makes people crazy/unhinged is when they try to control things outside of their control (ie how another person acts). Learn to assess what’s truly in your control and learn to let go of the rest
Hamper bin (bin for dirty clothes to be washed) should be either in the bathroom or closet, based on space and availability
Clever people can learn things to understand
If you’re clever, you can gain understanding from reading, watch, or listening to an experience.
You can learn from other people’s mistakes (and experiences). That way, you can gain wisdom without having to go through it yourself.
Utilizing this will take you leaps and bounds beyond others
People who have unhealthy relationships in the past may seek it out again because it’s what they’re used to. Don’t confuse familiarity with safety
People treat you how they want to treat you and it’s up to you to leave behind those who treat you terribly
Do not confused peace with boredom. Some people are used to earning affection through chaos or pain and that is not healthy
Saw this quote. I feel it rings true
Easier said than done, but generally if it doesn’t take the first time you voice your opinion, it probably won’t take a 2nd time
The hard part is learning to let go. Also remember that any conversation is about you and the other person fixing a problem. It’s not a you vs them, but a you and them vs the problem.
Try to be mindful and step back if you start feeling attacked. It’s better to pause the conversation and continue when you are level headed than if you keep going and letting emotions affect how you act. I don’t know if control your emotions is the proper wording, but don’t let your emotion control how you act. It’s okay to acknowledge your emotions without having to acting on it. Maybe the better term is to master your emotions instead of them being a master of you. Or take hold of your emotions instead of your emotions take hold of you.
A big part of that is emotional awareness. When you’re aware of your emotions, you can take a step back and navigate things better and minimize the chance of acting rashly or in the heat of things
That way, if there’s any little leaks from the trash bag, the napkins will absorb it. And a stained napkin will be easy to see when you pull the trash bag out of the trash can
