Self Accountability

[cozy_casita]

 In this season of social media I am noticing a lack of real conversation so let me add some ¢.02.

 

We are never so grown that we don’t need to check in with our mental health and our internal process. There is no culture or belief that can save you from having to do the work in order to become a fully mature human being.  There is no age where that truth expires.  If you are a human you have to tend to your mind, emotion and spirit.  There is no cred or creed or religion that will compensate for this.  Self reflection is one of the most powerful habits you can adopt in this life and with self reflection comes that moment of asking - is there part of my character that needs growth?  Am I communicating with love and respect?  Is there a situation or conversation I could do better.  Am I accountable for wrong doing to others?

 

People are throwing out multitude of relationships unnecessarily that could be saved if the person takes a beat to think and reflect.  Everyone has to grow in emotional health and intelligence.  I’m seeing all around me bridges burned to ashes, toxic behavior going unchecked all because a person doesn’t want to take some time to be humble, accept they are imperfect human beings and need to practice self accountability each and every day.  

 

“Is Shanali talking about me?” The answer is: “Yes.  You.  I’m talking about you.  I’m talking about every human being on planet earth.”

 

Have you taken the time to sit and contemplate about how you come across in conversation?  How do you express yourself?  

 

My last point is this—don’t be so proud to think that part of this message is not about you.  Don’t be so proud that you think you never need to learn a lesson or grow in some way or another.  Reach out to someone who can help you be it a mentor, therapist, coach, trusted friend, minister, priest/priestess - it’s ok to seek lessons from within you with the help of lessons from outside of you.
