Being more loving is terrific
Permalink  

I have had such a good week, thank you so much HP. It's been really full, doing errands for my grandmother post surgery and my teenage kiddo has been a grump. But what's so wonderful is I am applying some advice I read here, Debilyn posted something about asking herself what the loving thing to do is to help with some of the stress and anger. Hhhmm, I applied this technique all week and this week has been just wonderful. Before I would have been just irritated at everyone and everything. So much better this way.

wow I was not expectin that! lol I am glad some of my helpers in my head worked for you.

There are some very weird situations that I for the life of me don't know what to do, I do not follow others, very rarely.

Now my HP taught me all this, Hp for me has this wonderful book that is in more languages and is in more places in the world than any other....

I smile at crabby people, can you imagine how awful it must feel to have those bitter feelings all the time?

So glad you are helping grama. They are super special. Believe me those around you, even if they are crabheads, appreciate you being a light. Look at how good you feel!

Teenager a grump, ummm so you are saying the teen is herself/himself? lol that is their job to hate us, be grumpy hate everything,everything is boring and lame. I learned to ignore what they say, watch what they do. They may do the dishes but gripe the whole time! they are doing it! or they say something to you that could hurt, I just say,"Oh honey I love you too!"

Its all passive agressive. Sitting in "my chair" ummm I don't think so, so I pretend to sit on them, they get up pretty fast...did this to my students too!

I love teens, the rougher the better!

thank you for such a great share! You made me feel good too! (c:

Great awareness and share  Thanks MM. 
 
 
You have summarized the principles of the program in just  a few words. 
 
I also discovered that if I stopped, blaming, critiquing,and  judging others, treated everyone with courtesy and respect, my life and day were more serene joyful.
  A Win win for everyone. 01
