Replacing being sensitive or taking things personally, and instead shifting your preception to a more empthatic and understanding view will transform your relationships not only with others but with yourself.<br /><br />I learned to listen and find out what the problem was so that a resolution could be made. This can be a hard task when you are so sensitive. I may not agree or even like what he is saying or feeling, but it's his reality and the only way to be a good partner is to listen to him and then we both come up with a solution that will hopefully solve the problem.<br /><br />I agree that you should deal with all of your feelings, good or bad. Personally, I try to focus on the positive and what I'm grateful for. However, if something does arise then I usually do the following so I/we can move forward:<br />1. Address whatever the feelings are, and why you feel that way.<br />2. See the other side/perspective<br />3. Try to see the lesson to be learned<br />4. Figure out a solution/plan of action for the future to ensure it doesn't happen again<br />5. Take action to shift to positive, whatever that may be, so that we replace the negative feelings with something positive (happy or fun or whatever).<br /><br />Keep up the great work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
