For the longest time, being misunderstood was my biggest pain point (Thank you Eckhart Tolle for the lesson).

It wasn’t just annoying. It truly felt personal.

I mean, being a part of our spiritual community comes with its own set of misunderstandings for those watching from the outside.

I’d waste energy worrying about how I could explain myself from every possible angle. Hoping this time, they’d get it. Hoping someone would finally see me the way I see myself.

I didn’t realise all this work was diminishing my energy and vibration by the moment.

1. Refusal to be misunderstood is a form of control

There was a time when if someone took my words, or worse, my identity, the wrong way, I’d spiral.

I’d try to rephrase, backtrack, and swallow in victimhood.

I’d spend hours replaying conversations, crafting better versions of what I should have said. I thought I was just trying to minimise misunderstandings by bringing clarity to the table.
