Unfortunately there are some bullies in the world. That doesn’t mean everyone is a bully but it does mean the might meet some along the way. Half the battle is being brave enough to challenges other peoples behaviour if you believe it could be harmful. The other half all comes down to you!
Yes YOU!
The best way to do this is through our actions. Change starts with us. It can be very helpful to tell someone if you think something needs addressed but we all poses one super power that we can sometimes forget about.
The power to be kind.
By encouraging kindness we can start to create a culture of kindness. The more this happens, the more those acting anything other than kindly find it harder and harder to get the support for what they’re doing.
It’s always worthwhile bearing in mind that bullies actually often behave in such a way to cover up for something they’re feeling. This is not to excuse their behaviour, but maybe explain it.
It may not be helpful to think of them as victims, but it may help to realise that they too have insecurities and that everyone else in their life can help turn things around for them.
Change starts with us.
