There is so much out there about boundaries. I agree, it is easier to not spend energy trying to change others.
It is a lot of good information on them too.

Love this and your common sense and inspiration and guidance for strength in our mental health!

Dr H. I like how you talk about getting tangled. It’s completely like that .. that word tangled .. and nothing seems like you can help it along when there’s judgement and resistance .. and then after you’re gone, they want you bac so they can act that way again w you. Some people just don’t click and there must be a boundary put up that you’re not going back.
Thank you for the metaphor of being tangled.
It’s a few things but mostly feeling like drowning, not being understood. Ch 🙃
Ps your ‘slowing down’ monologue was truly humbling … and right on target.

Thank you for your talks, they’re very helpful. I actually think fuming has its place, it does for me anyway. Maybe it’s just semantics, but I do a lot of processing through my fuming. It’s actually helpful in moving me to action, to decisions that will be good for me. But again, it’s probably just semantics and I think what you were talking about was staying stuck in a sort of helpless fuming. For me those distinctions are important because I tend to be somebody who is prone to spiritually bypassing my own feelings and thoughts in some difficult situations.

This is great material. I appreciate you.

I like the phrase 'let it go' more than 'give up'

The dynamic of a nervous system I find it to be very personalized - what one might feel as activation and life moving forward, to another might feel like stale static energy. Many other issues interwoven in the picture as well - life goals, needs for achievment, leadership/inspiration, or self centerdness of own goals primarelly. Could be as well, life juices of personhood.

slow it down
widen the picture
