We’ve talked about how our minds can create unspoken rule books that we expect others to follow.
Isn’t funny to think that even if we don’t necessarily tell these people about these manuals that we have, we still hold them responsible for meeting our expectations.
Stop holding others to your expectations or your standards of friendships.
Notice how liberating and freeing this is!!!
It is possible to let go of your rules and your attempts to control others.
Instead, switch gears and take strides towards controlling your mind and your responses to how others behave.
Simple adjustments in how you approach your thoughts around these scenarios will allow you to have more calm, and possibly gain understanding of the other person’s perspective.
Most importantly, don’t make other people’s lack of following your rule book be an attack on you.
