Lately, it seems that everyone's past and present relationship issues have been coming to the surface. In this episode of BriWholistically I am tackling this topic with a very simple affirmation I've been using since I was 15 and that is "what affects me is not always about me". I'm talking about relationships (platonic and romantic) and how ultimately, even the worse pains we experience can not always be summed up in the typical "they did this because they dislike me" and other quick fixes to mask pain. Sometimes people can only operate within their own capacity and that means that there will be some hurt feelings within our lifetimes, but by understanding one another, communicating, and knowing that you cannot control anyone but yourself (and a few other gems) you'll soon realize that it's true, what affects you is indeed not always about you.
