Codependency

Morning Mantra: "Your ability to feel other people's pain doesn't mean it's your responsibility to fix it."

Caring for other people and their feelings is honorable, letting their feelings be more important than yours is codependency.  Empathy becomes codependency when you take it upon yourself to do the work for someone who isn’t willing to do the work for themselves.

I used to spend so much time reacting and responding to everyone else’s problems that my life had no direction on its own.  Other people‘s lives, problems, and wants set the course in my life. 

Once I realized it was OK for me to think about and identify with what I wanted, remarkable things began to take place in my life.  

Love yourself enough to set boundaries. Your time and energy are precious. It’s also interesting that once you start focusing more on YOUR life, they start to focus on theirs.
