Anger, aggression and bitterness are like thieves in the night who steal our ability to love and care. Is it possible to turn that negativity around and chill out so we can wish our abuser well? This may sound challenging or even absurd, but it can make life's difficulties far more tolerable.
🌞 Recognize no one harms another unless they are in pain themselves. : Ever noticed how, when you're in a good mood, it's hard for you to harm or hurt anything? But when you are in bad mood, you are more impulsive.
🌞 No one can hurt you unless you let them: When someone hurts us, we are inadvertently letting them have an emotional hold over us. Instead, if someone yells at you, let them scream; it makes them happy!
🌞 Respect yourself enough that you want to feel good: Don't respond to them with negativity, turn it around within yourself and began to wish them well.
🌞 Consider how you may have contributed to the situation: It's all too easy to point fingers and blame the perpetrator, but no difficulty is entirely one-sided. So contemplate your piece in the dialogue or what you may have done to add fuel to the fire.
🌞 Extend kindness: That doesn't mean you're like a doormat that lets others trample all over you while you lie there and take it. But it does mean letting go of negativity sooner than you might have done before so that you can replace it with compassion.
🌞 Meditate: Meditation takes the heat out of things and helps you cool off, so you don't overreact. A daily practice we use focuses on a person we may have difficulty with or have a problem with us. We hold them in our hearts and say: "May you be well! May you be happy! May all things go well for you!"
Been there, done that and I know by first-hand experience that reacting to hate and bitterness is only allowing yourself to feel bad for something you didn't do (in most cases). The best thing you can do is put yourself out of the drama and be at peace.
