Why Me?
We easily complain. We judge. We are so fast to jump into mental conclusions.
It is like we have an inner bias to confirm for ourselves truths whatever they are.
For example, when you couldn’t achieve something, you say: It must be me. Something is wrong with me. I am not enough.
Or when you are alone and find it hard to mingle up with people in crowded places, you say: It must be me. I am not good enough at socializing. I don’t fit in. I am so different. I don’t have a place over here.
Or when you are broke and out of cash, you say: I am broke. I don’t have money. I am not good at saving. I don’t know how to make money. I am useless at handling my finances.
Well what is it about you? Why it is always you, you and you? Are you special? Are you a superhero?
When did you start pointing your judging finger towards yourself? Was it in school when the teacher favored your friend over you? Was it at home when you felt like walking on egg shells all the time? Or is it the time you never felt really seen for who you are and you had to blame yourself to survive and move on?
Reflecting this way can pave the way for you to compassionately work with your thoughts and question them.
There is no judge here. This is purely observing your thoughts from a distance, keeping the ones that serve you today and letting go of the ones that don’t serve you.
