Yeah,I know,been there etc. And now? Well,my
greatest change,is, I do not allow abuse of any kind,
from any quarter (and believe me,I suffered from
anxiety for years). Another,though I don't always do
it,is have compassion for dear self, this was after
I got book by Kristin Neff, titled,"Self-Compassion"
Then there is acceptance (not liking,or condoning),
but accepting if possible,coupled with compassion.
If I were to choose one thing that had greatest
benefit,it would be not allowing others to abuse me,
which engenders self-respect. I discovered I had a
RIGHT to get angry if anyone was putting me down. We all have the RIGHT just by virtue of
being alive,to be respected by others. Of course,
their are a multitude of loonies who will not see it
that way,which is where we have to assert ourselves. Speaking of which,do get some books on
assertiveness,it will be an investment in dear self.
Deepest Respect,
BLUEDOVE
