It’s not your responsibility to fix..
It’s not your responsibility to fix your partner, friend or family member. It’s your responsibility to show up authentically, set boundaries that honor your needs, and decide if you are willing to meet them where they are.
And….this is SO much easier said than done, right? Especially if you’ve got people pleasing, perfectionist and fixing tendencies. (I see you 👋 💛)
And here’s the thing: the more you focus on being yourself and learning and letting people know what works and doesn’t work for you, the more you’ll be able to meet people where they are. And then you get to choose what you’re willing to do if they’re aren’t willing to do the same.
Is it easy to do? No. Does it take time? Yes. Is it worth it? Yes. Will you have more satisfying relationships if you do? Yes.
It takes time, practice and self-compassion to work on and reframe relationships with yourself and others. The bottom line is the only one who gets to decide what we need or want is you. And the more we can be our most authentic, self-compassionate selves, the more we understand that others get to choose that too - or not. It’s not up to us.
Take good care of yourself - you’ve got this!✨
