#ChinCheck The good news is no one can make you feel bad. The really good news is you cannot make anyone else feel bad. And the really, REALLY great news is you can make yourself happy by adjusting the beliefs that cause your misery. Claim your beliefs, feelings and actions as your own. Take back the reins of ownership, responsibility, and consequential control that come with ownership. Take that outstretched finger you’ve been pointing at everyone else, and turn it back towards yourself. Not in blame, guilt or judgment, but for answers and growth. If youre going to work on changing how you feel, it would be good to know who’s in charge of your emotions. It’s a fairly common belief that others can make you feel bad. You cannot, in any way, ever, make someone feel an emotion. When someone says something to you, the words aren’t going directly into your brain and switching on your Im upset lever. How can words, sent out as sound waves and picked up by your ears then translate into an emotional response? Is there nothing between those sound waves and your response? If your happiness depends on what somebody else does, I guess you do have a problem. Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom. Nobody can hurt me without my permission.
