When ...Thanks for that Sue, glad it's helping.<br /><br />When I have too many thoughts I tried to categorise them, box them up and then go through one box at a time, or I go off to do something entirely different to avoid thinking at all! <br /><br />Much as I myself would love to, I know I can not change somethings about myself, nor change everything with a wave of a magic wand.Wilde Womenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01515933372911889433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097508701235517631.post-9417950016570974552011-05-14T14:44:01.719+01:002011-05-14T14:44:01.719+01:00hi, you speak of so many points here that have bee...hi, you speak of so many points here that have been crossing my path over the past wee while...things that keep coming up for me, in a way that says 'hey dont ignore yourself'. the main one being devoting time & energy to the wrong people.. i wont go on, it's just as you've written it. & being annoyed with self about not having learned any better from it yet.. i still end up falling into that pattern of giving and not receiving. i'm trying to look at this another way, as well as setting boundaries, allowing myself to open up those boundaries when needs arise because this is just who i am.. i dont give to receive and i dont make a point of going out of my way to be there for people.. its just how it turns out. am rambling a bit here..havent quite got it worked out as you can see lol, but would i really want to be any other way. if it was on the other foot would i really want to be that person.. would i realise i was? <br /><br />i'm doing the same at present too in regards to - <br />'...listing all my likes and dislikes; all my wants and don't wants, all my dreams, all my good points, all my talents and skills. The rest of the world can focus on my faults if it likes, for myself I've spent more than enough time dwelling on them and besides I've discovered the faults they list are usually mirrors of their own. In short, my intention is to start to value and look after the one person who will always be there for me no matter what - me.'<br /><br />a very good, and important point. its strange isnt it.. what i've noticed of late is that although i've told myself i accept certain things about me.. the good stuff in me.. it's like its just been alittle dusting over, i've seen them yes but not completely accepted them cos those negative thoughts (that can be so often taken on board from others criticisms of us)were still with me, worming around under the surface. i realsise now that i dont even really beilieve a lot of those criticisms, so why do i hang onto them. this is quite a biggie for me and has me feeling content with where iam right no.. cos there 'is' progress..movement.. no matter how small or how long it takes, i'm happy & comfortable with the changes/self-development so far. i think thats been a key for me, theres no rush, it is all about self development.. and that takes time. <br /><br />i read all of your posts, usually in reader, i always 'get' what you say, and you so often provide me with much food for thought (so much that i dont respond to the posts cos i've got loads of stuff going on in my head, and find it hard to get it down even when my brains quiet lol) but i am reading, and i am appreciative of your space here and the time you put into it. its a great resource, and i also think that you will make a great councellor..you have understanding of people, and that really is quite rare.<br /><br />take it easy, and thanks for sharing your wisdoms here.suehttp://greenwhisper-ing.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
