You may be a 40 year old son\daughter,15 years of marriage making that your marriage age and a 10 year old parent.
As a child you would have established yourself,as a spouse you will graduate soon and as a parent you are still coping.That clearly defines our experience in those roles.
Hope that split makes you feel a little better about yourself.
We choose to behave or react according to the relationship.
Sometimes filling the role or fitting ourselves in that role can be as a challenging as a live stage performance.Some transition themselves beautifully from one role to the other.Its practically not possible to create a new version of yourself everyday to fit to these different roles.Switch on -switch off is not meant for all.One performs his role depending on the value the other person assigns to him.
When roles get confused with identity the responsibility and intensity that comes in with it can affect a person.
Our identity determines our roles, not the other way around.
When expectations go high – we do get this feeling,wish we were four of us to handle these different roles\expectations.
Well this is only home what about being a boss,co-worker,colleague,subordinate it all comes with its own level of challenge.
Letting go of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and setting more boundaries can go a long way to improve your health and wellbeing.
Accept yourself and also accept what you can handle.Respect your limits.
Don’t forget about the most important role you play in life – being yourself.
