They’re not trying to drag you down [“Why are they doing this to me?”] | RISE Macclesfield | Group Personal Training gym weight loss programmes

Have you ever thought any of the following;

“Why are they doing this to me?”

“People keep letting me down”

“S/he keeps messing me around”

That people “are haters”

Or “toxic” or “negative”.

And so on?

One of the most powerful realisations I ever came to………..

Is that people rarely do things “to us”………

They do them “for them”.

That doesn’t mean we have to excuse or allow other people’s behaviour.

But when we make it about us we lose power.

When we realise it’s their ‘thing’………

That they’re not trying to drag us down…….

But that they’re just sinking themselves………

We can just choose to ‘let go’.

Release our resistance to the situation.

Accept that person and their behaviour.

It is what it is.

Their behaviour is not our thing.

Again, doesn’t mean we have to put up with it.

If anything, acceptance of what it is………

Rather than arguing with reality……..

Enables us to deal with it better.

Remembering that people aren’t trying to drag us down……

They’re just sinking……….

Is a powerful way to “let go”.

P.S. We know life and other people’s actions can feel like they in the way of us making the progress on our health, fitness, body, mood and energy that we’d like. But, in reality, they’re just ‘on the way’. When we’re ready for that and ready to make imperfect progress whilst working around the circumstances of life (rather than stop-start, gradually slipping backwards), here’s where we do it –> www.myrise.co.uk/apply or www.myrise.co.uk/join
