The Radical Act Of #iRefuse
“I don’t deal with me, I live with me” #iRefuseMindset
It is time to STOP “Dealing” with yourself and start LIVING. For a long time, I treated myself like a difficult employee. Yes me to me. I was constantly “managing” my moods, “handling” my setbacks, and “dealing” with my flaws. I lived in a state of internal negotiation, trying to bargain with my own energy just to get through the week. It was exhausting because “dealing” implies an adversary. It implies that I am the problem I need to solve. Then, I stopped. I adopted the #iRefuseMindset.
The Shift: From Adversary to Roommate
I realized that I am the only person I am guaranteed to be with every second for the rest of my life. Why was I treating myself like a burden? Now, I don’t “deal” with me. I live with me.
Why #iRefuse?
- I refuse to see my struggles as “glitches” in the system. They are part of the landscape.
- I refuse the exhaustion of self-policing.
- I refuse to wait until I’m “perfect” to start liking the person in the mirror.
A Challenge to You
The next time you’re frustrated because you’re tired, or anxious, or you missed a workout, catch your internal dialogue. Are you trying to “deal” with the “problem” of you?
Stop. Take a breath. Remind yourself: “I’m not a project to be finished. I’m a person I’m living with.”
Treat yourself with the same grace you’d give a guest in your home. Provide the nourishment, the rest, and the encouragement you need to thrive—not because you’ve “earned” it, but because you’re roommates for life.
Let’s start living.
