Type "YESSSSS" in the comments below if you feel this! ❤️ Right now, I'm mid-conflict with someone and I'm doing EVERYTHING in my power to not BuRsT!!! The good thing is it's via email, so it's easier for me to take my time to think - which is the same thing as holding my tongue. BUT I don't plan on holding my tongue forever. The thing is, I do NOT deserve to take on their own insecurities and trauma and shame for the sake of "not letting out my anger". That's not fair. HOWEVER if I just come across as angry shouty me calling them out and stuff, it's not gonna go down very well! SO, what i'm doing instead is trying to channel the anger into greater understanding. Using curiosity as a key to greater compassion. By asking loads of questions about "why?" they're doing these things to me, I'm hoping they'll see they're being an awful human. However, even if they don't. It's allowing me to channel my anger in a way that's useful to me too - that's showing me there are ways to have conflict that are better than others. If this person shuts down and decides not to share the truth with me, that's OK. I have to accept it. But my coming in all guns blazing was never going to help. So, here's to NOT repressing shit and instead HANDLING it to get the best possible outcomes for everyone! 🥂 @HowMental ~ The Mental Movement ~ is here to help you take care of the most important part of you: Your Mind. 😇 That’s why we’ve partnered with some amazing organisations and therapists to help you show your true colours.
