Happy Thanksgiving to my faithful readers. I just wanted to remind you all on how to deal with those family members who love to comment on your lack of a life partner, lack of or abundance of children, your appearance, your political stance, and whatever they feel threatened by. Our gut instinct is to smart mouth back and tell them to fuck off. But, let's not do that this holiday. Let's have appropriate expectations from these people... OK? Let's expect these comments ahead of time and send love to these people.
It's not their business what you do with their life, obviously. Just know that they are the ones with the issues, not you. Try not to show that it bothers you because they want the reaction. We don't want to give them any more of our energy. Don't waste your energy, don't lower it to their emotional state.
Yep, I know that it sounds like I'm saying not to defend yourself or to stand up for yourself, and that is not what I'm saying. Of course, you have every right to defend yourself but they don't have a problem with you. They have a problem with life. They are limited in their beliefs and that's sad. No amount of telling them opposite will help because they are stuck.
So, let's send them love and hope that they soon get unstuck so they can feel our love and receive abundance like us.
