Comforting Thought: How You Understand You
“How people perceive you
is more reflective of
their inner mechanics
than your actions
you cannot control
how others think and live,
but you can be intentional
about the energy you put into the world
some may misunderstand you,
but what matters most is that you
understand you”
Comforting Thought: An irreplaceable friend
“An irreplacable friend is someone who:
highly values your trust
appreciates your honesty
naturally feels like family
still loves you as you change
finds it easy to laugh with you
holds space for you in tough times
supports your happiness and safety
helps you to believe in your self-worth
inspires you to love and know yourself”
Comforting Thought: Arriving at mutual understanding
“When an argument starts
your goal should be to arrive
at a mutual understanding
it helps to become aware of the inner tension
that is impacting your reasoning
notice your level of attachment
explain yourself clearly
listen with patience
find the balance between honoring your truth
and reflecting on your partner’s perspective
and remember that success
is both of you feeling heard”
Comforting Thought: Real Maturity
“Real maturity is observing your own
inner turbulence and pausing before
you project how you feel onto
what is happening around you” #YungPueblo #poetry #quote #selflove #hope
Comforting Thought: Holding Space
“In special moments, we can take turns deeply seeing one another. here we move beyond having an exchange into holding space while someone reveals their truth. this is a higher level of listening that involves acting as a compassionate audience for another person without interrupting or adding our own perspective. when we hold space for one another, hearts become more open, truth is ready to be revealed, and old tension comes to the surface so that it can be seen and held, not just by the speaker, but also the listener. this collective honoring of each other’s truth can be incredibly healing.”
