Do you take on other people’s issues? Without knowing it we internalize what we hear; whether it be from family members, co-workers or close friends.
Are you feeling trapped? Locked in the middle? Uncomfortable? Do you have the urge to fix it, to ease their pain, to make it all better?
The first step is to become aware of your emotions. Chances are, if you have a strong emotional reaction it means you are taking on more than you need to.
Ask yourself the question: Does this belong to me? Is this my problem to solve?
