Do you feel responsible for keeping everyone around you happy, calm, and okay?
Maybe you carefully choose your words, anticipate other people’s needs, or replay conversations because someone seemed disappointed, irritated, or distant.
You may find yourself explaining more, apologizing when you are not sure you did anything wrong, or changing a healthy decision simply to make someone else’s discomfort go away.
In this episode we’ll explore the difference between caring about another person’s feelings and taking responsibility for their emotional state.
The episode concludes with a guided Christian meditation to help you:
- Notice whose emotions you have been carrying
- Recognize where that responsibility lives in your body
- Identify what genuinely belongs to you
- Examine whether you acted honestly and respectfully
- Recognize what belongs to the other person
- Release the pressure to control someone else’s reaction
- Return to your own words, choices, integrity, and next step
- Practice speaking truth with love
