Heres your daily inspiration for this lovely, albeit wet, day of December 12 Dont Take It Personally A powerful spiritual practice is not to take anything personally. How often do you assume that whats been said or done is aimed at you, in a negative way? Usually, this is simply a projection of what you actually think about yourself! Stop your self-criticism and judgment, and you will take things much less personally. Taking things personally may also mean that some deep, unconscious inner belief, based on an old hurt, has been activated. Somehow this current event sounds, feels, or seems exactly like what happened before. At that time, usually as a young child, you made a decision about how to protect yourself from how life is or how people are. This belief has now been activated through this current situation, and you have taken it personally. Learning not to take things personally reduces the impact these old beliefs have on you, until they finally fade away altogether. Reflection: When and how do you most often take things personally? What is being triggered in you? Affirmation: I choose not to take this personally. I choose to respond from a calm, centered, spiritually grounded place of love and truth.
