I’m doing my Step 4 stuff right now. It’s hard going, or it is when you do it thoroughly, and I’m struggling to pull out my anger, resentments and Shame …
In the middle of doing this I felt the overwhelming urge to write down all the reasons for self hatred I can allot to myself. It’s a grim list. But it’s also not very mindful and probably not a very accurate snapshot of who I am right now.
Then I wrote on another page … I am also
And this is that list…
- Brave
- Loyal
- Kind
- Compassionate
- Generous
- Truthful
- I have integrity
- Clever
- Resourceful
- Passionate
- Loving
- Hardworking
- Flexible
- Unselfish
- resilient
- creative
I’ll take that list. I actually believe that. I wrote it and I believe it.
I think that’s progress ?
That’s the one! Throw that other one away or ceremoniously burn it!
