I’m getting into a long-distance relationship… with myself.
What I’ve learned is, while my gut reactions to certain subjects and events is always the same, my reaction time doesn’t have to be.
Regret is a fast follow up if you act without thinking.
So give yourself more time.
Taking a breath isn’t enough, leave the situation and look at it from the other persons point of view.
Do it actually.
Become them in this moment and see yourself as they do.
You’ll free yourself from that inner child that burns all your bridges and keeps you stuck in grade school.
We all have multiple sides to our personalities, for some it’s more extreme– but its the same task needing completion if you want a better life.
You have to become rational, more than you are.
You have to see what traps you fall for regularly, and figure out what causes them.
Then, rather than pretending them away, your awareness can stop you from being swallowed by your own inner toddler.
If you want to grow up into a better person, you have to take ownership of your kid (life, inner child, strengths, weaknesses, etc.).
