Stop Stewing About People's Flaws

I found myself having to remind myself of the title of this post. As many of you know, when we feel pain and fatigue it sometimes is difficult to accept or deal with people that we feel are rude and do not treat us with dignity. Here are some tips that I hope will help you.

STOP STEWING ABOUT PEOPLE'S FLAWS


-If they are insensitive, in order to short-circuit your own tendency to obsess or pick a fight; remember a time when you felt appreciative of something they did. If you met them for the first time and you were treated rudely or without respect, think of someone else that did something special for you or yours. This way your brain will register all those emotions and re-experience them. In a matter of minutes, your anger will fade.

-Take a deep breath, pause and repeat. Say a prayer in their name.
-Stop and ask God to help you deal with this individual or situation that has caused you to feel hurt or angry. He will answer, I promise.

I hope and pray that this post has helped someone today:)
