Be Vulnerable!

YOU  MIGHT  THINK ..........that by being vulnerable you allow others to hurt you, but the opposite is true.By being vulnerable you invite support from others, you show that you are human, you are not perfect.You reveal yourself so that others may better understand and respect your whole being.

Give Yourself a medal!

YOU'VE ALREADY WON .............................................................................................and didn't know. Give  yourself  a  medal  for trying, and  for coping, existing and surviving.Take the striving and strain out of struggle.Celebrate the fact that you' re alive and unique, that you .............yes even you! have something wonderful to contribute.

Consult the I Ching!

Believe the best!

IN EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOU,  

in everything you do, you have two choices to assume the worst or to believe the best of others.When you assume the worst, you condemn before a  'crime' is committed.When you assume the best, you allow the possibility of a positive outcome.

Gather your resources!

THINK ABOUT YOUR STRENGTHS and skills you know you possess.What mental and emotional qualities are you proud of?Start with these resources when you encounter difficulty and you'll move more easily from the ' known' throught the ' unknown''.

Take Comfort!

COMFORT  IS  whatever makes you feel more at ease.Comfort is a hot -water bottle, a bowl of soup, teddy bears, hugs and cuddles, a blanket, music, a soothing drink.You can even suck your thumb if it reassures and comforts you!At times every adult has a hurt and fearful, lost lonely child inside.
