Things I’ve Learned In 61 Years Part Six

Looking for the Light

People who walk away while you’re talking to them are not interested in what you have to say. No need to get angry, they are self-centered and will not change.

People who ignore your no-soliciting sign are morons and wasting their money because who would buy from them.

If your lawn crew speaks Spanish and sprays poison on your beloved rose bush, have custom signs made that say “Do Not Spray Poison In The Flower Beds” in Spanish.

If your partner thinks that certain tasks are your responsibility, you have a choice, stop doing the other task or have a serious talk about their logic.

If there is something you’re good at whether it be a hobby or otherwise, don’t stop because you have other responsibilities. You have to make time for yourself every day for your mental health to enjoy the time you have available and celebrate your skill and the joy it brings you.

If you don’t think you’re important, people will not treat you that way. Grow your confidence and project it. Never let anyone put you down.

If a loved one puts you down or expresses shame about you, stop it right away. Set boundaries. Have a serious talk with them about how they talk to and about you. If they don’t understand or refuse to change, don’t go around them. If your partner or spouse doesn’t stand on your side they are confirming what others are saying, and the abuse will continue. After a talk with them, and they don’t get it, it’s time to move on. You deserve better and will thank yourself later.

If someone asks you to dress a certain way that is not your style, tell them you’re an individual and will dress the way you feel comfortable. If they insist, turn the tables and start telling them how to dress. The message will hit home or not. If not, they will want to control other parts of your life and you don’t need that from anyone. You are your own person. They are asking you to do something that makes them feel better about themselves because they have low confidence.

Beware of anyone who tries to pressure or guilt you into buying something. They are selling to make money only, not focused on what your needs are.

    1. They are hard to make a habit of, we naturally put ourselves last but that only affects out mental health and doesn’t build our confidence. I’m just as bad, I’ve made several good habits but I’m still working on others. I think it’s a process. One at a time. :)

  2. All the lessons I need to learn, just look at my posts and that’s evidence that I don’t think of myself important or worthy of anything good. I really just want to sleep and not deal with anybody anymore.
