So this happened. That thing where you labeled someone and they took it to heart. And you didn’t expect them to take it so literally. And you wondered if this is why parenting matters so much when it comes to helping your children label their emotions so that they get to choose what’s happening, not someone else?
In our work, we talk a lot about how words matter in healthy work environments and home environments, but we don’t talk enough about it in the context of society, because politics are taboo. And it’s obvious that some heinous behavior is being modeled right now.
And so the dissonance is harrowing, especially for people who are incapable of labeling their own emotions.
Your mission to achieve Superhumanness: Be the one to define your emotions. Don’t give your power away to others so readily. If you need help, seek it from a professional who can guide you and help you find your own words. That way others can’t inadvertently label you something you shouldn’t take to heart.
Be kind along your journey and remember, you got this! #defineyouremotions #defineyourfeelings #seekhelp #labels
