P7,

.
Reading your post reminded me of something this morning. I was hoovering and as I was putting the hoover back, I noticed I was doing in very speedlly, hence the hoover hose kept falling off, dropping on my toe, the dam thing was not fitting into its place of residence and then I stopped and saw what I actually was doing, was beating myself up, literally, I took a breath and then slowed my actions down, the hoover went back into place and I was very aware of my own gentleness toward myself, felt a bit sickly at first, but its the first time that I saw one of the ways I mistreat myself during any 24hours....normally I'd get all worked up because putting a hoover away grated on me, when it was me grating on myself....stop for a moment today, sit quietly...and step outside yourself and think if you were someone you cared about deeply, what would help that person?
