Hey all. Here some thoughts and Love, from what I discover.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j60GgFpchWQ I need to remind myself, that I cannot make someone to love me or like me - it's up to the other person and we can never go beyond the free will of the other. And life is not about me, it's about others

I like the way you set it. But life is also about you, not only about the others. If you don't take care of yourself while caring for others, who will?

Hello Bychan Wulf, yes, that is right. I think I am pretty good now of taking care of myself, but I somehow need to remind myself about this balance
so in the unbalanced way of words in my post, before, my mind would have been occupied really a lot about: how I feel, how I think about a situation, why others react to what I said, what I did wrong etc. ... This thinking needed shifting, and this phrase: "life is not about me, it's about others" helps me to keep my thinking in balance. If this makes any sense? Thank you for reflecting

hummingbird, that's a really good way to balance things! When you shift the focus from yourself, life gets a lot easier, especially in the case of anxiety. Shifting the focus away from myself has even helped me care for myself. Before I would fail to take care of myself because I was focused on negative things, but now I keep myself healthy so I can help others. It's a great outlook.
