I read something recently about the power of breatg and was reminded how critical it is to breathe deeply now and then. Sounds odd, I know but it talked about how we tend to list food and water as essentials, which they obviously are. But we can live days without water, weeks without food, and only moments without breath. <br /><br />So ...yeah, breathe...might enable a moment to choose a "thanks" next instead of invalidation.

I think the ones who can have the ability to see the value in other's opinions. I've never been an ugly person - people always told me I ahve a pretty face, but I didn't put value on that since it came easily - I wanted an athletic frame and a quick wit. If people had ever said, "You're so funny" as often as they said, "Well you ahve a pretty face" I'd be better off... it's that I put such a high value on other things - only focusing on the have-nots. this is no solution - just sympathy. I haven't figured it out yet - it's out there... a workable goal - seeing yourself through another's eyes without adding the "Yeah but" <br /><br />You have a great face. <br /><br />Yeah, but, I have acne.<br /><br />You are great at drawing<br /><br />Yeah but, I wish I could sing.<br /><br />It's such a reflex, but We need to smack ourselves and focus on the positive, even though the mind is screaming the negatives.... <br /><br />re: my blog, I don't see your comment, but I see that you made a private post and that you ahve commented on something... just not visable to me. Oh Secret secret bloggers. :pAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
