Welcome. If you've just had a fight. And your mind keeps replaying it. Then this is for you. Close your eyes. And take a slow breath in. And a long breath out. Again. Breathe in. And out You're feeling something. Anger. Tightness. Maybe a voice saying, I am right. And maybe, You are. Just notice it. Without pushing it away. Notice this. It isn't the first time. Different words same fight same feeling. Pause and feel this. Maybe the thought is, They don't understand me. They don't listen. They don't take feedback. Let those thoughts be there. And gently Look deeper. You feel hurt. Disappointment. Unseen. Invalidated. Take a deep breath in. Deep breath out. Right now. You don't have to solve the relationship. You don't have to prove your point. You don't have to win. Just come back. To you. And your feelings. Feel your body. Your breath… and the space you're in. And slowly. Consider this. They got triggered too. Their reaction. Isn't about this moment. It is their patterns. Their defences, Their pain. And you? You are human. You react it. You got angry? You want it to be understood. This doesn't make you wrong. It makes you human. If it feels okay. Place a hand on your chest. And gently say, I feel hurt. I want it to be understood. And I can soften just a little. You are not ignoring the issue. You are just choosing. To pause. Before reacting again. Take one deep breath in. And a slow grounding exhale. Let your jaws relax. Your soul is true. And slowly. Let your body relax. For now. Create a little space. Between what happened and what you do next. Because in that space, You don't lose. You don't give in. But you choose differently. If this helped you relax even a little. Come back to this meditation before your next conversation. And remember. Being understood. Often begins with slowing down. Fit in yourself first. Thank you. Take care and have a good day.
