Scrolling down the feed to find a lot of hopeful, enthusiasic people. I need to fjnd positivity in my life. I cant help but feel the cold shoulder from my 14 y.o sister. I know i shouldnt be negative but honest to god theres so many signs and subtleties that im picking up on. Ugggh

Hula hoop. It's not just for kids.

Any one of us in a hula hoop symbolizes what we can control or manage and what we cannot control or manage. Inside the hula hoop are our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, the things we say, eat or drink, etc.. Outside our hula hoop is other people, what they think of us (heck some of you weirdos probably think I'm a weirdo too! :crazy_face:- I don't think anyone here is weird aside myself but I digress...), life events in the world, the weather, THE PAST, etc.

You can engage with your sister and be a source of that positivity you see here and absorb elsewhere but if she's giving you an off vibe, you can't control that. And it goes the other way, too. She can't control you so if she's making you feel a certain way, taking a step back may be beneficial. May this help you navigate your relationship with her.

Thanks for the advice.
I first learned of the hula hoop in my first time at rehab so thank you for bringing it up and relax explaining it for me.

It's helped to improve my approach with my family and other people in my life. Family is still a trigger for me and the hula hoop really helped with lowering that intensity.
