Hi Priscilla and Hana
Even though I may not be facing discrimination as most people in my group are inmigrants and see favouritism. I can see an example like the one with the flyers happening to me.
What i have been doing is:
Realize that is a reflection of who they are
Try to identify the things I have been doing that may have contributed to the situation. I realized that I need to be more clear i the way I express my messages for example
I realize that I am my own voice. I would love having the mentoring and nurturing environment that makes you feel safe. That’s my need and I had to accept that they just can’t provide that as they are fighting their own battles
I repeat to myself constantly that I belong. If I want respect…i give myself respect. I want toletance. I give myself and others tolerance. I speak. I trust my ideas and I am prepared to respond back and defend my ideas when someone says no.
I realize that I have to trust my achievements and my skills and be open with them with kindness ans compassion
I have worked in forgiving ofenses and letting go grudges.
All this of course has taken a looooot of work, meditation, coaching, listening to Pema Chodron and similar teachers etc…but it has been al worth it.
