Sometimes awareness sucks! There’s nothing worse than knowing what you should do but not wanting to do it; actually there’s nothing worse than seeing your inner child show up and having to check yourself because you know that whilst your feelings may be valid, your reactions aren’t self serving. On this episode I reflect on how I showed up after being mishandled and how difficult it is to unlearn the parts of being nice that ultimately leave space for people to mishandle you without going to the polarised side of the expression where you are mean. Does anyone else feel disappointed when they know they have been mean but still can’t find it in themselves to apologise because they can’t look past how they were made to feel? Or better yet does anyone ever hate feeling like you are being “forced” to demonstrate a side of you that isn’t the nicest or kindest all in the name of, “we can all be rude and mad” etc? Hands up if like me you’d love to master the art of responding rather than reacting…
