All the same LOTUS lovin', and the same welcome - but on a far more decentralised, ethical and blossoming blockchain!
Much love!
Slightly confused by this post...
Speaking of us being what we think about (great Earl Nightengale quote), something about PTSD, and some vague injustice at work.. are you saying that you are pent up agressiomnwaiting to explode? Do you find yourself as a challenge? I'm sorry, I'm just confused... But this post comes across as anything but from the perspective of someone who may meditate or follow a path. May your mind find peace within.
Smile, I believe in you, semper namaste
Sorry, that I confused you. I guess my own confusion of the situation came through a little too much. Too many details in the wrong area. What bothered me by the whole situation was that words were said that were unfounded and quite frankly appalling.
Sometimes I discuss a specific topic from a generalized stand point. Sometimes I use my own circumstances to show a relation between a situation and a practical application of various techniques. I don't pretend to be an expert of any sort. I simply work to inform people and give them options.
This week's topic is about how much words can hurt a person even if others mean it in jest. When someone becomes conditioned to something, it is a very hard cycle to break. When it's mental conditioning it's worse. So we need to mindful of our thoughts. Mindful of what we say. We should not to beat ourselves up when the conditioning takes over and we lose sight of being mindful. We shouldn't dwell on the incident. In this case, I didn't. I didn't do any of this, so I failed. I am ok with that. I am human and it's ok that I wasn't able to see what I needed to do at the time.
Thank you and you have a wonderful week.
Sounds like a tough week. Yes, words can hurt, and we must mind them lest they do damage. However, we so must mind our reactions to the words of others. It's hard when you don't know this, such as when you are young, so teaching young people to not react and watch sensation is probably best we can do. I hope you find peace this week.

I actually got a little bit of time today, not much, I was able to sit in silence and get things sorted. So I'm am much better
Sometimes it feel's so desperate knowing what people were been through. But at the same time it was fun, yes your words were fun. I can't imagine someone just told you, he'll gonna be killed. Why would someone think's that way? Well we are all have different opinion in life.
Even though you have a rough week, you still manage to overcome it all and have courage to express. That's right, if you won't voice out they'll misunderstood you. Even if you're not mad, they'll think you are.
We can't help criticism but if you just want to feel at ease and forget what happened. Lot of people are in discord that will spend time and to make time passed like nothing happened. You can also write in steem where many people can interact and maybe they have the same experience like yours.

I have to keep putting that thought out of my mind. I still can't believe that he said that to me. The funniest part, he ignored me all day. He didn't say hello. Didn't respond to my hello. So be it. His problem, not mine. I had a pleasant day 😊
really? then it's fine as long as you have a great day. Anyway they can't affect your daily life by just being ignored, it's their loss not youes. 😎😎

Writing for me has become very cathartic. Sometimes I divulge too much. Once I released it and got some quiet time things have been good. This is one of the main reasons I started doing Mindfulness Monday posts on my own. Use my experiences to help others. Sometimes it turns into a brain dump, usually I am on track.
You're absolutely right if they can't see that then it is their problem. Thank you for your support.
I’m so sorry to hear you had a very tough day. Sending you love ❤️❤️❤️. “This too will pass...” was a mantra given by Buddha if it helps. You are loved, you are wanted & you are respected. 🧘🏼♂️🧘🏼♀️

When my kidsare getting beaten down by life and other people ( kids can be really cruel) I see it as my job to help them get their mojo back. So I make them recite the last two lines from Ernest Henleys' poem Invictus until I see their mojo rising. Works every time.
I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul
Don't let those pricks steal your mojo, they don't deserve it.
This is a wonderful reminder @khufu. I had done a post last year on Invictus. It's wonderful that you have given that power to your kids. I wish I had read Invictus prior to having kids, it would be in their repertoire.
I have a page I keep pinned to the wall next to my desk about changing my thoughts. I think I'll put Invictus up too.
I’m sorry you had to deal with that at work. So frustrating and I can certainly relate. One thing I’ve noticed is that when people are comfortable in their own skin and empowred and awakened, some people just can’t handle the shine, it activates parts of them that need awakened and it scares them. Thanks for sharing your story and lots of love to you💜💙💕🙏🏻
I've seen the same. That's what my husband had said too. He thinks it's funny that I intimidate people without knowing. I just laugh, 'That's not my goal' He reminds me the problem isn't me that it's them. Thank you for reading @consciousangel7 💜💜
You are welcome! So funny cause this same thing happened to me at work yesterday hahaha someone said I intimidated them and it really upset me because it’s an employee I had given so much energy and helped more than others. The world is a crazy place and I’m glad we can all share our experiences so we don’t have to feel so alone 💜
Interesting that, the morning after reading this post, I stumble upon / attract this video:
Ever heard of Neville Goddard and do you also practice the law of attraction? No matter what, I found this a good one. Half way in, they start talking about a 'boss treating you badly' and you revising the situation later on. It made me think of you :>)
A hug from Portugal,

Thank you so much@vincentnijman 😊 I'll look at right after I finish this. I have been meaning to 'start' Then I realized that I do to a point and I don't need things to 'align' to 'jump in'
I had read a book what seems like another lifetime. It was about law of attraction and coincidence. The whole theory of the energy that you put out comes back to you. Most of us know this which is why we have chosen this lifestyle, path, or what you will. I have learned most things aren't coincidence, that when you really look into it there was energy sent out and the universe guides (keeping it generic)
Ok that was perfect!! Again thank you so much @Vincentnijman 💜💜
