[Ep 65] Learn to Linger with What Provokes You

There are times when we are caring for others—or when they are caring for us—when something rubs us the wrong way.

Maybe they say something to us.

Maybe it’s their tone of voice when they say something to us.

Maybe we can’t even identify what it is, exactly, but we know it doesn’t sit well with us.

Let’s be honest… this happens even when we’re not caring for others, right? But I’ve found that when we are interacting with someone we love, especially when we are trying to help them, we can be more sensitive to these kinds of things.

So today I just want to tackle this issue head on and help us figure out what we can do about it.
