Rise & Grind 👑🙌🏾

Last week, life was lifing. Ironically I was taking life personal, while reviewing the 2nd agreement. I remember doing the post, but not really sitting with the words. Until one day I took a step back and breathed. That’s when I realized I was in a cycle.

Like I said the beginning of last week I lost a friend, he was a mentor and work family. I found myself taking life personally. Everything was moving on “business as usual”. Neither corporate or life was giving a moment to breathe. Losing family members rather family by blood or by bond is family. With the loss, we have to figure out how to navigate life going forward without that connection.

They were an amazing light needed in today’s world. They volunteered and gave back to their community. They gave without expecting to the people who most overlooked, they were humble and just a good dude, with a corporate title. I was taking it personal that this life no longer had that light. But light is eternal, as long as we keep the energy going. Death is apart of life. Before I could let the dark moment of physical death pull me from the space of light I’ve created I needed to break the cycle.

It’s harmful going thru this life taking everything personal. I was starting to feel it physically, emotionally and mentally. So I took a mental health day. Online says breaking cycles is the process of ending harmful patterns of behavior or thoughts. And we learned last week some of the ways taking life personal can be harmful. I kept thinking I needed more time reflecting on this in order to break the powerful hold it has on me. Then Temple got cancelled and I realized I had one more week.

We talked about the negative impact of taking things personally. There I was, offended by feeling like the world was moving on around me, which led to Perpetual Conflict. I was waiting for someone to say the wrong thing, someone who didn’t know the loss the people in my world were feeling. Last week was emotional turmoil from absorbing the pain of those around me, and just being on an emotional rollercoaster of grief.

Going back and reviewing last week, helped me identify 2 negative impacts in my life because I wasn’t practicing the 2nd agreement.

Constantly Offended: When we take everything personally, we become hyper-sensitive to others’ opinions and remarks. This constant state of being offended can lead to physical stress responses like tension headaches, muscle tightness, and even insomnia, as our body reacts to the emotional strain.

Perpetual Conflict: Taking things personally often leads to unnecessary arguments and conflicts. Emotionally, it makes us feel defensive and misunderstood, and mentally, it keeps us on edge, always preparing for the next confrontation. This can cause a breakdown in relationships, isolating us from loved ones and creating a toxic environment.

I will break this cycle, and hopefully help you gain resources and tools to break any you may be having. So hopefully y’all don’t mind before jumpn into the 3rd agreement. Let’s sit with not taking things personally for one more week.
