Emotional Maturity Is Letting People Be Wrong About You

Ever feel misunderstood or judged? Not fun, is it? It can be tempting to set the record straight when someone misjudges you or doesn’t “get” who you are. But here’s the thing: emotional maturity is knowing that their opinion doesn’t define you. Sometimes, you have to let people be wrong about you, and that’s okay. 🧘‍♀️

Their narrative is shaped by their experiences, perceptions, and biases, it has nothing to do with who you actually are. Instead of spending your energy on convincing others, or trying to manage your image, focus on living in a way that feels true and authentic to you. Those who matter will see you for who you are. And if they don’t? That’s their story, not yours. ❤️

Mindfulness is not about sidestepping life’s challenges, but rather fully embracing them. It’s a journey of awareness, acceptance, and growth. It’s not about dodging the storm, but learning to dance in the rain and savouring when the sun comes out☀️ 🌿

Today we honour all who served and the families who continue to carry their stories.

For many veterans, the toughest battles don’t end when service does. Across Ontario, thousands live with post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, chronic pain or substance-use challenges that began with their time in uniform.

This November 11, we remember their courage and we work toward a future where every veteran’s healing is met with the same respect as their service.

If you or someone you know needs support, call the Veterans Affairs Canada Assistance Service at 1-800-268-7708 or connect with your local CMHA branch.

EVEN A BAD DAY IS A DOORWAY TO GRACE

You don’t have to be peaceful or positive today.
You don’t have to "rise above it all".
You don’t have to spend the day in bliss or transcendence.

When the thoughts come,
"I’ve failed. I’m lazy. I’m wasting my life."
Don’t push them away.
Turn towards them. Smile at them.
Say, “Hello mind. Thanks for the suggestions.”

Let yourself feel down, bored, disconnected, hopeless.
You are human. You are allowed.
You don’t need to be perfect or enlightened.
There is no shame in opening
to the full spectrum of your experience.

Discover true meditation instead:
Bring awareness into the ache.
Let love flow into the cracks.
Saturate the doubt and the anxiety with compassion.
No fixing. No analysing. Just tender presence.

Talk to yourself as your dearest friend would.
"You are feeling overwhelmed today. That’s okay.
You are still loved. I am still here.
You are still beautiful. You are still whole."

This is what real spirituality looks like!
Not hovering above your pain.
But sitting beside it, with it.
Holding it. Breathing into it.
Breaking open to it.

The storm is not a mistake.
It is weather, and it passes.
It always does. It always has.

The sky does not need to fight the storm.

Be the sky. Be the opening for it all.
And discover:

Even a bad day
is a doorway to grace.
