When realized that Worry is a lack of Trust, I started looking at everything differently:

If I worry about the future, it means I doubt that I (we) will be okay regardless of what happens. The future might be difficult, but we have done difficult things before, there is no reason to worry.

If I worry that you are going to lie to me, it means that I don't trust you AND I don't trust myself to be okay afterwards.

Trust is the antidote to worry, because worry is a lack of trust. You can put your trust in God, in the Universe, or in yourself, which is what I would do, because your survival track record is 100%!! I am not a gambling man, but those are some really good odds in your favor. 🙏

Real repair has three parts: ownership (I see what I did and I’m not defending it), empathy (I can feel what it was like for you), and a plan for change (here’s what I’ll do differently when we get back here). Without ownership, apology feels hollow. Without empathy, it feels cold. Without a plan, it becomes a loop.

Not everyone is meant to be in our lives to the end, so when someone brings pain, suffering, and disrespect to your life let them go, if you choose, you may wish them well from afar.

If it’s not possible to let them go completely, make sure you limit your energy and time spent in their presence.
Remember you are worthy of respect.
You matter. Your life matters. ❤️
