A client and I were talking how we needlessly take on other people’s “stuff”. She told me a Polish saying that was a great reminder to separate ourselves from others’ issues, feelings or reactions. I’d never heard this saying (even though I’m half Polish . . .). Does this create a brrrrrrrrrrriliant reminder, or what!?

Ponder on that!
nie mój cyrk, nie moje małpy
not my business
literally: not my circus, not my monkeys

It sounds catchier in Polish.
It’s called ‘detachment’ and good when it’s detachment with love.
