“Stop taking things personally. When you
realise how many people cope by projecting, you’ll realise that you’re not actually the problem”

This week has really been about reflecting on freeing ourselves from the patterns of taking things personally. We took a deep dive into recognizing and breaking the cycle of taking things too personally.

It’s a tough habit to crack because the patterns of emotional overreaction and assuming negative intent often reinforce each other, creating a self-perpetuating loop that keeps us feeling stuck, defensive, or hurt.

Here’s the week’s big takeaway, breaking these patterns begins with recognizing when we’re trapped. Are we reacting emotionally to situations that aren’t personal? Are we jumping to conclusions about others’ intentions? Here are somethings we can reflect on to begin healing:

1. Building Awareness: The first step is noticing when we’re overreacting or assuming negative intent. Taking a mental pause in these moments can shift our focus from reactivity to intentionality.

2. Questioning Our Assumptions: Before diving into a negative assumption, ask ourselves, “What else could this mean?” or “Could there be another reason for this?” It’s all about considering possibilities outside of our immediate reaction.

3. Practicing Self-Compassion: Sometimes, our reactions are less about the other person and more about our own insecurities or past experiences. Being kind to ourselves helps us understand that it’s okay to feel hurt but doesn’t mean we’re under attack.

4. Fostering Empathy: Instead of assuming the worst in others, consider that they may have their own struggles and stressors. By putting ourselves in their shoes, we soften our own reactions and open up to a more understanding perspective.

By focusing on these, we’re giving ourselves the chance to rewrite the narrative. It’s not about letting go of all our feelings but about approaching them in a way that feels balanced and true to our own growth. As we continue on this journey, may we each find peace in the process, learning to rise above assumptions and live with more clarity and self-compassion.🙏🏾
