Act like you want the people in your world to act – Daily Dose #40
Recently, a friend of mine hurt my feelings very deeply. Not on purpose.
Ten years ago, I would have had an attitude, been mad, given the silent treatment… wanted them to “feel bad.”
I’m different now but my old default used to be – strike first, think later.
Sleep deprivation affects your ability to control yourself.
Hypervigilance is staying overly alert, trying to control everything to prevent bad things.
But, I can’t just “blame” my narcolepsy or my past traumas and never work on my own baloney. That’s what my dad did…
The #1 thing that helped the most was to tell myself to “Have a nice steamy mug of STFU,” to help me bite my tongue.
With my son, when he was driving me crazy, I would say, “What are you… 11?” Because he was acting like a normal kid. It helped me not react.
Recently I heard, “Act like you want the people in your world to act.” I thought about that going through the emotional rollercoaster of the recent situation with my friend.
It helped me respond in a healthy way, the way I would want if it were me. So, I’m adding it to my list of things to use. That’s what it looks like to lead yourself with love – finding solutions to help you grow and implementing them.
