Put It Down

Morning Mantra: “You don’t have to take responsibility for what isn’t yours.” 

We all have enough of our own negative feelings to deal with, we don’t need to carry the negativity of someone else.  If someone tries to lay something heavy on you to lighten their load, don’t take it in. Just recognize it as theirs to deal with and put that burden down.  You can wish them well, support them from afar, but carrying their negativity isn't going to do anything for them. 

This is even true for the news.  Right now, all over the world, the news is heavy.  It's overwhelmingly sad.   I can't carry it or it affects my day. I used to listen and read it at the start of every day but now I choose to go outside in nature instead.  I put that burden down.  It isn't mine to carry.  I pray for our world but I feel helpless to do anything and that's not a great way to feel.

You need to protect your peace.  You must protect your energy.  If you can't change anything, put it down.
