Do you ever find yourself trivializing your desires?
Maybe you’re yearning for the love and affection you get from being in a relationship. Maybe it’s more money. More friends. More likes on social media.
We often talk harshly to ourselves. Judging, berating, calling ourselves names.
If we trivialize our desires, we suppress who we really are…and that will only come out in unhealthy ways down the road.
When a friend comes to us with a problem or a confession, do we talk to them this way?
If you’re a good friend, you’ll try to be supportive and kind. Talk to yourself like you would to a friend. After all, our desires make us human.
For example, if you have the desire to cheat on your partner, it doesn’t necessarily make you a bad person. It’s how you act that determines your character.
Get to the bottom of it. If you want to cheat, you need to examine where that desire is coming from and communicate with your partner about it so you can work things out.
Whether we realize it or not, we’re all on a journey of self-discovery. There are lots of ups and downs.
