If you feel a factual error has been made in a news story, call the news department at 527-2153. Today I am reaching out to all of you who are easily offended. I am speaking to people who are thin- skinned, pout a lot, become passive aggressive because you feel you are always at odds with other people and generally overly emotional about what people say in relation to yourself. Everything in life simply "is" until we attach meaning to it. The filter in our head sifts through what we see, hear and experience and attaches emotions and meaning to it. Sometimes if we grew up with- out proper nurturing we develop a lost sense of self, one that craves acceptance and inclusion. We long for people to reinforce to us that we matter and that we are loved just the way we are. Sometimes if we are coddled or given a false sense of our importance we stay stuck in the self-centered two year old phase of "it's mine" or believe the world revolves around our needs and desires. Both ends of this spectrum can create people who are so dili- gent in their beliefs that they are easily offended by others who don't place them front and center. Being able to take one for the team, hold your tongue when you disagree or disengage judgement against others takes emotional self control. When you announce to the world that you are offended you are also announcing that you have no emotional self control and therefor are expecting oth- ers to have it for you by not doing that "thing" that makes you mad. When I was younger, I thought I had knowledge and therefor wanted to change circumstances. Now that I am wiser, I real- ize that I need changing from within and that change automatically changes the world. With changed thoughts in my head about what is offen- sive, who is offensive and why I even get offended I react differently to what is coming into my brain to be sifted by my unique filter. I recognize my ability to twist information into something that someone never intended. I rec- ognize that sometimes I was being offended and making something not about me, about me. If you are easily offended, get wounded all the time and people are always having to modify their nat- ural selves to manage your emo- tions, you need to get a grip. You need to figure out what button is being pushed when you start to pout and then put that thought into emo- tional time out. It is a relief to know that everything and everyone is not Faydra Rector You Matter Life coaching isn't always about dessert. Sometimes we have to eat our vegetables. Some changes we need to make in ourselves feel like punishment, but just like exercising, if you do the hard work, the results not only look good, they feel good too. directly tied to you. Your spouse and children should have elements of life that aren't attached to your hip, it doesn't mean you are rejected. It is fine if someone else at work is recognized and you aren't, it doesn't mean your work goes unno- ticed. If you don't get invited somewhere with the "in" crowd you don't need to cry in the closet because you were left out, maybe if you were more easy to be with, you would get more invi- tations.
