Thank you kind spirit. Yes, to stay attuned can be draining. Today, I addressed a situation that needed attention, and did it in the vein of this step, not as I once might be inclined to–about righteous indignation and woundedness. I was able to gently set some needed boundaries, mainly through acknowledging my part in allowing them to be set aside by not speaking up. Group “stuff” is hard at times when individuals do not have the courage to stand up, or when the environment is not welcoming to open, honest and respectful input. I recognize that I need to go beyond silently ignoring the gossip, drama, and chaos, but in such a way that the individuals do not feel harmed or maligned. That, is hard at times. Today, in mindfulness, I succeeded, and All is Well.
