Something my counsellor said to me the other day helped.
I have come to see myself in so many negative lights. There are always reasons. In this particular moment, I was talking about my nagging nature and my counsellor decided to fill me with some truth and light. She asked me if I was nagging or if I was using my voice and just not being heard. She pointed out that there was a very skewed perspective around 'nagging' in society especially around women.
Maybe you are not nagging. Maybe, just maybe, the other person is not listening! Maybe it does not have much to do with you at all? Maybe you would not have to repeat yourself over and over if the other person took the time to see you and hear you too. And maybe, if you decide to ask, yet again, for something that matters to you, you could see yourself as honouring your own voice ~ and changing that negative narrative. You are not nagging, you are honouring your voice.
So there is that
