Changing you is enough, you cannot change other people. “You can’t teach an unwilling dog new tricks.” People who say, “that’s just who I am.” Typically just mean they aren’t willing to grow or change or improve. #growth #willingness
People typically are who they’ve shown themselves to be in the past. Is it so surprising when they continue to behave as they mostly always have? #character #behavior #patterns
Connection + Belonging: Humans have a deep need for relationships, social connection, & community. This includes feeling accepted, loved, & supported by others. Isolation + loneliness can have significant negative effects on emotional health. #belonging #loneliness
“This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal.” #HealingJourney — Toni Morrison
While needing people is healthy, enmeshing someone and losing your unique self with someone is co-dependent. Making it your job to rescue them from their own doing without them even asking, is co-dependent. Losing touch with your needs and taking on someone else’s is codependent.
Sometimes the person you intend to help doesn’t want to change and/or you are robbing them of the opportunity to learn and grow on their own accord without your help. You have the option to allow other people to self-manage for themselves as a capable adult person. #boundaries

“The only clear line I draw these days is this: when my religion tries to come between me and my neighbor, I will choose my neighbor... Jesus never commanded me to love my religion.” -Barbara Brown Taylor

In Healthy adult relationships you don’t have to be responsible for other people. The responsibility of managing someone else’s life, mood, boundaries, etc. Is co-dependent. Making it your job to rescue them from their own doing without them even asking is co-dependent. #health
