People often make the generalization that if you shared an experience together; from siblings to classmates to friends, that it was perceived and interpreted similarly. However, this is not the case. Everyone has an individual perspective that is processed uniquely. So indeed the experience was/is unique to every person. This is important to understanding you must learn a person's experience through inquiry and listening without judgment or preconceptions based on another's account. The differences can help you understand where misperceptions between people can occur and aid in fostering understanding by helping each learn the other's perspective. One common example can be recounting memories of life events between siblings. So, remember, next time you have a shared experience, don't forget to share your individual perception. You may have had a positive experience, but, did they??

Sometimes positivity can be toxic. Give others and yourself permission to feel. Listen, validate their pain, and offer to be there for them should they need to ask for help. Offer to provide guidance to seek help if they feel they've become stuck in their sadness. Remember, there is no timeline for grief. .

Be careful in your quest to make someone feel better that you leave enough space for them to express and validate their negative emotions are real. Negative emotions are natural, having them is ok. Once you have felt them, it is ok to let go and find a new perspective.

Practice taking different perspectives. Accept that even seemingly contradictory views can hold validity. One doesn't need to get so vested in a point of view that it negatively impacts us emotionally. If it hurts, look for another perspective.

Your thoughts shape your reality. Be deliberate and intentional with what thoughts you choose to focus upon. Dismiss the negative thoughts and those that randomly intrude as unwanted visitors just passing through. Pick up and refocus on the things you want in your reality, this is how you create your own happiness.

Forgiveness is an act of self-love. Repeat that to yourself; Forgiveness is an act of self-love. The act of forgiveness sets you free from any further pain being inflicted by the actions you were inflicted by, but DOES NOT excuse the behavior or invite them to a seat back in your life. Protect your peace, and forgiveness is your start!
