When anyone thinks negative thoughts about you they are holding on to their own negative energy. When someone makes me feel like an idiot I do the same thing. I hate feelig stupid. Or thinking someone thinks I might be stupid. I need to have more of a protective field. Maybe you could share you tips.

I think it’s only natural as part of the human condition, that we will think about how we handled something and wonder if we could have said it better or behaved more nonchalantly or whatever….after all isn’t it a common daydream of so many people, that we could return to highschool as an adult and do it all again with the power of adult confidence and knowledge!

I suppose the trick is to find a balance, so we don’t find ourselves obsessing or dwelling for too long on every nuance of every conversation we have, or interpreting too many things as criticism or rejection. It’s not easy though is it! I find it an ongoing challenge to not care too much about how people perceive me.

My mom always says that to me. But the thing that helped me the most with this and I have to listen to it again. I got the “Four Agreements” on tape and listened over and over to the second agreement “don’t take anything personally” where he says that when people are talking about others it is really a reflection of what they were feeling inside. This made me think. Tje fpir agreements was a pretty popular book i liked the tapes so that i could listen to that part again and again. the other agreements are pretty powerful too: Always do your best, don’t assume, keep your word.

blessings to you
