episode 7: ritual of safety
This is a Q&A episode where I respond to a listener’s question about how to navigate the thought/feeling of “what will people say” (Hindi: “log kya kahenge”).
You can submit your own question for Q&A at any time too! Just head to @deliciousdignity on instagram or email me podcast@dilshadmehta.com.
Here’s the episode outline:
A reality check of the world we currently live in: What’s really going on and what lies beneath how people see you or talk about you
Do we ever stop caring about what other’s think or say about us?
Safety as the foundation for building a strong spiritual immune system
A powerful affirmation that blew my mind when I came up with it
A two part ritual for establishing safety

part 2: confronting your everybody
Make 3 columns on a sheet of paper
Column 1: write down the person’s name who’s judgement or projections you’re afraid of
Column 2: write down the exact words you think they would say
Column 3: ask yourself why it matters atleast 5 times
part 3: where am i welcomed?
Write down places, spaces, people who welcome you with open arms. These people have demonstrated low or zero judgmental behavior to you in the past. They might give you feedback but they do not take pleasure in condemning you nor do they seek to control you.
until next time,
may you welcome the dignity of being your own safe place
