What assigned relationship roles or labels do I need to let go of?
Journalling is the practice of writing about our thoughts, feelings, experiences and ideas and is a great way to connect to ourselves on a deeper level.
Each week we’ll be providing you with a new question, topic or idea to explore. This weeks journal prompt is:
What assigned relationship roles or labels do I need to let go of?
Being labelled as having, or even lacking specific character traits, qualities or abilities by others is something that many of us have experienced from a young age. Not only can these labels negatively influence the beliefs we hold about ourselves, but also the roles that we play within our relationships.
In fact, these assigned labels will usually show up in some form within all of our relationship dynamics, even with those who did not initially assign them to us. And even if we do ourselves identify to some extent with the labels given, they can often cause inner conflict. Especially if we are struggling to be seen or heard in a different capacity to our usual role.
Think about what roles have been placed on you that you are still showing up for but do not serve you. Remember, that only you can define who you are and you have the right to change that at any time.
Journalling is a personal process, but we’d love to hear any insights or ideas that come up for you, that you’d be willing to share.
