@iamdavidchristiansen: Being offended indicates an area of insecurity. This usually leads us to fight back or sit in an emotional state. Becoming emotional is actually an indication that you have work to do in that area. When we get offended, it means we put up a wall in that area of our life to protect that part of us because it hurts to confront. When someone says something to us and it pushes against that wall, we feel the emotions attached to that identity we have of ourselves. So what if we just took the walls down and didn’t allow the words of others to get stuck inside us? This is how we grow spiritually. This is the “healing” process. The walls are just scars that we have held onto. The point of spiritual practices is to confront these walls and bring them down piece by piece over our life time. You do not need hold onto the things that hurt. Find peace and wholeness in yourself and anyone could say anything and it wouldnt effect you. Of course, this is a process, so lean into your spiritual practices and find what works for you! We are all in this together! #healing #insecurity #offended
