Yasmine Aker Instagram – When a person shares their opinion about you, that opinion is often more to do with them and their inner state than it has to do with you. ✨ Compassionately hear what people say without giving it too much weight. ✨ Foster trust with yourself by not taking other people’s projections as your own self-view. ✨ Understand that others’ opinions often reflect their own values and feelings, and are not a true reflection of you. ✨ Humans relate and organize socially through reflecting back what they see in themselves, through their own perception of things, and through projecting their own experiences and emotions on to others. This is normal and healthy and doesn’t need to be judged harshly. ✨ Strengthening our relationship with ourselves helps us regulate our emotions when the turbulence of other people’s opinions and emotions come crashing in on us. #opinions #selflove #selfcare #emotionalregulation #emotionalintelligence #growthmindset #selfawareness
