NAMING TAKES THE POWER AWAY FROM FEELING “BAD”
“Naming our feel-
ings is important, for
once we do so, we can
begin to deal with them.
Rather than panicking over
how we feel, we can specifi-
cally say how we’re feeling.
This gets us away from our
limited way of identifying
feelings as either “good”
or “bad” with not much
in between.” (It Works,
How & Why, p. 30)
DIGGING UP THE ROOTS & SHAKING OFF THE DIRT –
“Suppose that finan-
cial insecurity constant-
ly arouses these same
feelings.” “And if the ac-
tions of others are part of the
cause, what can I do about
that?” “Questions like these,
more of which will come to
mind easily in each indivi-
dual case, will help turn
up the root causes.”
(12 & 12, pp. 53-4)
“A name repre-
sents identity, a deep
feeling and holds tremend-
ous significance to its owner.”

There must be a wound!
No one can be this hurt

No marks
No bruises
Worse!
People say ‘My, you’re looking well’
…..God help me!
She’s mummified me –
ALIVE!

Good morning everyone + happy Sunday. Here is today’s thought. Sometimes when we pray, we expect our prayers to be answered in a specific way. But sometimes we have to understand that God does answer our prayers in ways in which we did not ask for. But His way is the best way. Keep the faith. Blessings. BB
Wanting romance and love but the prospect of dating is daunting. But nothing ventured nothing gained.
when I am a mess I carefully assess the facts of what is going on – this helps me cope & helps me be not just a bag of nerves, which is never helpful.
Sometimes I just have to remember to breathe. Its amazing how quickly I can invent “facts” in my head.
