giving the power back...

to yourself. i never thought i'd be one of those women who couldn't let go. who would allow someone to disrespect me and treat me badly over & over again. shoot, i'm smarter than that, but i guess book smarts and relationship smarts are two different things. but why can't i just let go? why have i given this person power over me and allowed that to determine how i feel? so i was surfing the net this morning (while i should have been working) and found this:

"This may be tough for some of you to hear, but that's ok, that's tough love. Why do some people give their power to someone else? Why do you need someone else to let you go? If they are not treating you right or causing you stress, hurt and pain, then you need to release yourself from that person if they refuse to treat you with the respect that you deserve. The bottom line is that it doesn't matter what we are picking up intuitively, or what a reading says, or what you think you feel, what matters is this, how is this person treating you in the present moment? Can you handle the behavior and actions that this person is showing you? If it is causing you pain and stress, then LET IT GO. I have been in love before personally, and I know how hard it can be emotionally to let someone go. But you have to know how to set your boundaries when you are not being respected. It is difficult at first, but you will get used to it. And on top of that, people will RESPECT YOU MORE over time. Now, life can be challenging and there are always going to be obstacles along the way. No one is perfect. But the point of this blog is that you need to BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN HAPPINESS. Don't allow your happiness to depend on someone else. If that person isn't treating you right and causing you pain, then you need to make yourself move on rather that person talks to you or not.

You deserve the best. You deserve respect. FREE YOURSELF!!! It doesn't matter what the other person is feeling. If their behavior is causing you stress and pain, free yourself from it. It doesn't matter if its a soul mate, twin flame or whatever word you want to call it. If its meant to be, that person will come back around in the universe's own time and they will treat you right. Maybe that person has to go through changes before they can be in your life. Think about that."


man, that hit home for me. it took someone else to tell me that this person wasn't respecting me, because i couldn't see it, or maybe i did but didn't want to because i thought all was good in the hood...guess not. so i moped around for a few days but my mood is improving. i don't really feel like being around anyone or hearing about how great a relationship is. i question what i did or didn't do and what i could have done differently. but i have to stop questioning myself, just admit that its a done deal, and take my power back.
