Firstly, who are the safe people?
These people will
Protect your privacy
They will listen and not judge
They have integrity
There is no power play
There is no gossip
You trust their judgement.
This might be one person.
Only safe people only get to comment, provide insight or help you discern the right path to take.
When we let others have power, that they have not earned, we subcontract out our worth, our instinct and our peace.
Perhaps their words have hurt. Their comment lives in your head, it upsets your sleep, it cuts you down and makes you feel less than.
Unsafe people need observed not absorbed.
Get back on solid ground. Go to where you feel safe. Where you feel most known and let your heart heal.
I do that with running, baked goods & coffee, reading, being with the safe people, talking, watching comfort tv (schitts creek/ER/West Wing) I put Dave Matthews Band on LOUD. I revisit the Celtic book of daily prayer (I say revisit cause it’s always used when I’m in crisis mode!)
I rediscover peace and I make a fresh pledge to protect it. These words may feel too much or too little but they came to me in a wave of reflection today. I hope they fit with someone in the way the fitted for me today. I send you love ❤️
