I’ve just had a beautiful, beautiful insight a few moments ago.
We all have people who trigger us. In the past … up to recently, I would explode in the moment and start arguing with all my might. But in the past 2 incidents that have happened I chose to react differently. I observed what was happening, despite feeling angry at the moment I decided to restrain myself for both my benefit as well as for everyone around.
As I arrived home, I worked on releasing the emotion & during the release of both incidents (the latest one being earlier today), the situations or the problems brought me back to myself.
The first incident made me question myself as to why I was bothering standing up for people when they themselves were not speaking their truth when the opportunity arose. Despite complaining about it repeatedly, when the time comes to speak up and change the situation, they choose to remain silent. Hence, why was I fighting for them.
The second incident just made me understand that theres no reason why I need to dislike incidents that happen to negatively affect the people I love. We all have the power to set boundaries, but if the people around me are afraid to do that, its their life that will keep replaying the same incidents over and over again, & not mine so I just need to learn to detach. We love our family and friends but loving them does not necessarily mean standing up for them. Its their lessons to learn.
These 2 recent incidents have shown me by not reacting at the moment & by sitting & reflecting with the events – my ego is constantly being deflated. Its a painful process but the results seem to be giving me more and more satisfaction. One day, constantly practicing restraint & reflection I do hope my ego bubble will deflate entirely & that is when I will be truly FREE!
Love you, all the best.
