With our great need for relocation, I am having to deal with people and processes far from my wheelhouse. In the post- Covid environment, each step is fraught with inconsistencies and misinformation. None of that is personal.
What feels personal is when others attempt to manipulate me into doing what they want me to do, by changing their behavior toward fake smiles and feigned interest. Being worked by others brings out my stubborn streak, resistance, and resentment. Recognizing this empowers me to make my choices evermore responsibly.
How do you respond to other’s attempts at manipulation? Can you recognize that is about them, not you? Ki to Happiness would rather work than be worked.
