A Spell for Releasing Self-Blame
April 20, 2023
Do we want to be people who take responsibility? Of course! And/but, it is WAY past time for us to stop beating ourselves up for our inability to solve problems that are sooo much bigger than us as individuals.
Do we want to be people who take responsibility? Of course!
And/but, dysfunctional, oppressive systems RELY ON US
to feel personally responsibility for fixing systemic bullshit.
It is WAY past time for us to stop beating ourselves up
for our inability to solve problems
that are sooo much bigger than us as individuals.
Mentioned:
Brigid Schulte’s book Overwhelmed: Work, Love, And Play When No One Has The Time
Oppressive systems pretend to love disruptive, creative expression.
But what they really prefer is that you keep your head down
and work to maintain the status quo.
The next time you’re wondering why you can’t figure things out,
think about the systems around you, and how WE, collectively,
can work on making them better.
