The Importance of Self That We Overlook

Anonymous

It is so often that we are focused on others that we forget the importance of ourselves and how our "self" is so important.


We have so much power. We are the gatekeepers and we set the boundaries. Yet we often hand others so much control. We worry about how we will be perceived by others rather than how we will feel comfortable. We don't set the boundaries firmly and therefore every word and glance from another can shake the entire equilibrium.


What if we just stopped caring about the thoughts and actions of others so much? What if we decide not to let ourselves be swayed or bothered by the feelings and reactions of others ?


No one can read your mind. People act in their own spheres and on their own motives. Fix your own.


Get inside your own head more. Think about why things affect you and how they affect you. Develop a sense of self identity. Why you get triggered when you do. Why certain things change your mood. And if it is because you are letting another person have too much control then it's time to change. Remember if you decide it to let other people not bother you then they won't. But if you sit and worry about what they think and how they act and perceive you then you are just harming yourself. Set the walls strong and high. Don't be so susceptible to others.
