Doooooooooo do do do, yep thats where I am at, for me it's all the little nitty gritty things,like making decisions and not getting into the whole head convo with myself thingy, and also I have a terrible habit of always wanting to justify myself, gotta do more practice on using simple solutions for complicated people, see I did a gain, NO is a complete sentence, No is a complete sentence, this is all awareness though right? keep it simple, and when I am wrong promptly admit it, keep coming back, I do I am, I will.
Your post made me smile, Katy. Sounds like we are at similar stages. I like that : "using simple solutions for complicated people." I find that is usually best and that's a skill i'm learning too. I asked a friend to do a favor and she kept asking all of these specifics and just didn't seem like she could commit to doing what I needed so I finally just found an alternative and told her to forget it. It's so easy to get caught up in other people's issues. It takes a healthy perspective to see when someone else can't say no themselves and sometimes you just have to say no for them...if that makes any sense. Anyway, congratulations on your progress. sounds like you are doing great with all of the awareness. :)
