Don't allow your wounds to turn you into someone you are not.

[Lorwen Harris Nagle, PhD @LORWEN108]

Look closer.

This is what “change” looks like inside your brain:

1. Stop rehearsing disaster.

[Lorwen Harris Nagle, PhD @LORWEN108]

3. Give your brain new evidence.

Do one small thing you’ve been avoiding.

Action teaches your nervous system:

“I am not trapped.”

[Lorwen Harris Nagle, PhD @LORWEN108]

2. Change the sentence you repeat most.

Your brain listens to repetition.

Replace:

“I can’t handle this.”

with:

“I’ve handled hard things before.”

[Katewonyango @katewonyango]

Remember making someone repeat their rude remark can sometimes help set boundaries as it might often make them feel awkward. So Question like these can help👇🏼

What do you mean by that?",
"Can you explain why you said that or what made comfortable saying that to me ?"

[Katewonyango @katewonyango]

A little thread on something that can help you establish boundaries with friends, colleagues, strangers while still maintaining respect and your composure.

[Katewonyango @katewonyango]

Remember these can make a difference 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
Instead of: "You're wrong about that."
Say : "My understanding is etc. Let's look at the data to be sure.

"Instead of: "Don't talk to me like that."
Try: "I want to solve this, but we need to keep the tone professional."

[Katewonyango @katewonyango]

Which one are you👇🏼

The Corrector:Directly addressing a mistake or boundary on the spot.

The Pauser:Acknowledges the situation in the moment but gives yourself time to respond calmly.

The Releaser:Intentionally choses not to correct an issue if it’s minor & letting it go.

[Katewonyango @katewonyango]

So you can decide how you want to react to or handle things .

[Katewonyango @katewonyango]

Pick Your Battles.
Some people or comments aren't worth your energy at all. Sometimes, a silent, unimpressed look corrects someone faster than words ever could.

[Katewonyango @katewonyango]

You might not like the response but do not take it personally. Recognize that another person's reactive behavior comes from their own circumstances, emotions , how they understood it and limitations rather than a direct attack on your worth.

[Katewonyango @katewonyango]

Tone Control is very important:
You can correct someone firmly while keeping your voice calm. Delivering a correction factually often carries more weight than delivering it defensively.

[Katewonyango @katewonyango]

Standing up for yourself is great, but ensure you are responding with clarity rather than reacting out of pure adrenaline. A one-second pause keeps you in control and help you to avoid overreacting.

[Katewonyango @katewonyango]

Set firm boundaries for instant speaking up without defensiveness by using neutral, professional phrases like "Thank you for your input; I will keep that in mind" to maintain control of the conversation.

[Katewonyango @katewonyango]

Pause before reacting. Take a slow, deep breath with an extended exhale to activate your nervous system's calming response before you speak or write. It’s not necessary it just depends on how fast or slow you need to respond.

[Katewonyango @katewonyango]

This is from the improved version of me that speaks out and correct people on the spot so i nolonger go home and overthink it .

[Katewonyango @katewonyango]

Silly of me to almost forget that I am
a living proof of a fully answered Prayer.

[Reads with Ravi @readswithravi]

Romanticize the quiet parts of your life. The book. The coffee. The sunlight. The walk. The nature.

[🫧 @sijuagain]

may God align us with people worth doing life with

[tendollar @tendollardanny]

the purpose of life is to become as calm as you possibly can

[Dear Son. @DearS_o_n]

Who else has noticed that being too nice, too friendly, and too polite attracts a lot of disrespect?
