it helps me to remember not to set things in concrete... use the words, Sometimes, Often, Right Now, i AM feeling, etc.

when we talk to ourselves in terms of Always, Again, Never, No One, they ALL.... it can sap us of the belief in our ability to survive, and change....

this is one of the ways we can "take care of ourselves"... there are so many more; focusing on learning them is a good way to pass the time

best wishes,
Gus
