GIVING PEOPLE GRACE

It’s so hard for me not to completely lose it on people when they’re being weird with me, but I’ve been working on it man. This older lady I work with told me that I need to “look at things from their perspective, you never know what someone is going through”. Now granted I don’t be giving a shit about whats going on with people, but she has a point. Sometimes someone’s life could be in shambles and you’re just the mf they decided to black on today. Learning to let things go is hard but it’s probably better if I don’t raise my blood pressure for once.

In: being compassionate

Its ok to be sensitive sometimes. I’m working on this, because i’ve always been told by friends that I am too sensitive and things are not that serious. But we shouldn’t have to put our feelings aside because people don’t know how to be compassionate. Don’t forget to think about how your actions and words feel to those around you❤️

compassion

i focus on what i can control and my personal strategy is compassion - we are not so different and even when there is difficulty i do my best to understand what may be hurting and why, and hold space and patience and empathy for that person which will hopefully encourage their own cooperation. it’s easy to focus on the negative but maintaining a personal peace in which you don’t take others’ actions too personally will alleviate that judgment and helps me shift into a mindset of understanding and even detachment so i can focus on the problem to solve!!

giving yourself a present every day

“everyday, once a day, give yourself a present. don’t plan it, don’t wait for it. just let it happen. it could be a new shirt at the men’s store. a catnap in your office chair. or two cups of good, hot black coffee.” in heaven everything is fine rest in peace david lynch..

adding to the tapestry of this community

i know for a fact that i’m guilty of wanting that dopamine hit of having people see my posts and like them, but i’m trying to change my mentality around that here. i’m finding myself more at peace just posting my recommendations and taking solace that someone might find them in the future and enjoy what i suggest, rather than needing an instant gratification of a like. i feel as though i’m adding a brick to the communal building that is this cool userbase of interesting people.
