Boundaries are our friends...
Nugget of the Week
When it comes to ‘dealing with the difficult’, we all have our own ways of procrastinating and justifying why we can’t tackle things now, or head on come to that.
The reality is that the longer we leave things the more difficult they become. If we’re leaving them hoping they will improve on their own, more often than not we’ll be disappointed.
More than that, the longer things bubble on for, the more stress we feel, and prolonged, low grade stress is worse for our mental and physical health than the short sharp bursts.
So, do yourself a favour and take the bull by the proverbials. It’s the only thing that really makes sense.
This Sh** Really Happened!
Since when did we stop being able to sit around a camp fire and rationally explore different points of view. However unpalatable someone contrary view may seem to you, that doesn’t necessarily make them a bad person or wrong.
How will we even be able to value diversity if we’re intolerant of difference? Before you get all huffy with me and insist I don’t understand, but do any of us really?
As my dear friend Mary Alice Arthur says, “We’re in the messy middle” and that’s an integral part of being human. So, learn to get down and dirty, embrace the discomfort, and focus on the learning. Because it’s there if we look hard enough for it.
Coming up, Buttercup!
