I was thinking how she lashed out like that, and how I excuse it because her mom is a nurse. Because, I am worried about my mother too, probably more, because my mom is homeless and hasn't answered her phone this year, but I don't lash out at anyone about it. She said she had an easy childhood, so maybe she never had a challenge necessitating emotional maturity to develop. Gonna continue working on my own healing while others throw their tantrums. It's not my job to mother everyone. (Right after I wrote this I texted her to ask if she's doing okay. People worry me sometimes, man!) I should just be glad that I'm not in their shoes, at least, not yet. And I need to remember that I don't need to manage anyone's emotions for them. I only need to manage my own.
Happy memories:
Every summer that ever happened. Being barefoot. Warm dusk sunsets. Ocean air.
Today's affirmation:
When others try to knock me down to their level, I can shrug it off and continue my healthy patterns.
Today I will focus on shifting my pattern of:
being distracted by the behavior of others
I am grateful for:
insight, solitude, food, shelter, bathtub, candles, pets, books, my body, kava, coffee, ancestors, healing, self love
The person I am becoming will experience more:
unshakeable inner peace
I have an opportunity to be my future self today when I:
rise above the chaos around me by modeling mature behavior
When I think about who I am becoming I feel:
strong.
