Lean on ME!

Today let’s talk about two types of people in our lives... My daily reflection I read today was about “because they care” they are people in our life that actually care and want to listen. They give us a shoulder and ear to lean on and listen to our pain or suffering without feedback. Then there’s the other friend “when it’s convenient” they show up to downplay what’s going on in our life saying phrases such as - this shall pass - just get over it -let it go -don’t cry over spilled milk -you’ll survive rather than listening they have to give their opinions what they think you should do. I know for me personally if there’s times I want to talk , vent or share my feelings of what’s going on in my life I don’t want to be told what I should do. I just want to talk and have someone just listen. I’m sure you can relate. There are those times or moments in our life that we just want to be heard. I’ve been there both sides and the person that’s listened and I’ve been the person that share those phrases... I’m sure we’ve all been on both sides. Honesty I think sometimes we don’t know what to do when we hear someone express or share pain or hurt... all we can do is be that person for others to lean on, listen and show support “because we care” and not be there “when it’s convenient”!Download the Free 7 Holy Habits Guide: https:// bit.ly/7holyhabits📬 Sign-up for weekly newsletters and more: https://substack.com/@fitandfueledbyfaith📸 Connect on Instagram: https://instagram.com/fitandfueledbyfaith  📺 Watch full episodes on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@fitandfueledbyfaithFit and Fueled by Faith is a faith and wellness podcast for women over 40 who want to feel strong, energized, and rooted in faith. Hosted by Stacey Ziegler, NASM-CPT, Certified Holistic Health and Life Coach.
