🍉Some days the world feels scarier than ever. This might have to do with the influence, speed, and power of social media. Every day, people like ourselves have the power to share information. This allows us to shed light and bring attention to things that might otherwise stay hidden. Take this power seriously, try to help by sharing in whatever ways you can. Don’t allow fear to stop you from living--instead, let the information empower you by being aware of what’s happening around you.
🍓Have you ever questioned some of the beliefs that you hold near and dear? I’m talking about the ones that cause you to question and discredit yourself and your personal experiences. Trust your ability to think, reason, and come up with your truths. A new perspective can change everything! The ways we see ourselves in the world are the blueprints of our actual experiences in this reality.
🍇Learn when to say no. How selfless is the person who calls you selfish-- because they want you to put their needs above your own? Some will misunderstand self-love as being selfish. If constantly helping others is burning you out, or making you broke in the process...this is counterproductive. If you are always the savior who will save you?
🍊A person cannot be entitled and grateful at the same time. Help whenever you can but try not to overdo it. Some grow to resent the person who is constantly showing and offering to help. I think the helper might indirectly make the person in need feel powerless. A person feeling powerless and entitled will have a hard time taking responsibility for themselves and their own needs. Again, try not to overdo it...Everyone deserves to be their hero.
