No More Settling!
I have realized that I tend to put up with people that I know I do not have intrest in being friends or in a relationship. There are things they do, say or personality traits that do not match mine or add positively to my life. I think I'm doing this because I feel by not accepting them for who they are I'm judging them. Thus a very strained relationship ensues. I am allowing myself to be treated negatively or have negative interactions because they are not to be sitting at my table. I've realized that I even sometimes have put myself in the very situation I'm unhappy in with my words or actions, and so I feel like I deserve that treatment. Not anymore. I'm in a shift in my life and health and I'm not by any means complacent. I want and deserve more. By settling I am telling the universe, I'm ok with continuing down the same path and I am not. So, I'm making the decision today to honor my mental and gut No's verbally and consciously. I am in the driver's seat of life and I can not have passengers that slow me down or reverse my efforts. I do not owe everyone access to me simply because they want it, or I feel rejection would hurt them. No more. This will not be an easy change but it is a necessary one but I also do not owe anyone an explanation for my no. So this is step 1. Realizing and admitting my mistakes!
