WEEKLY RECAP March 7th - 13th, 2020 |
|
|
Highlights from the Blog and Facebook |
|
|
| | Saturday, March 7th (AM) If you’ve been harmed by a narcissist, it’s probably not because you missed something obvious. Rather, it’s probably because the person tried effortfully to keep you from seeing the truth. | | |
|
| | Saturday, March 7th (PM) A great deal of recovery is all about prevention. Not just preventing relapse— preventing desperation. Preventing overwhelming levels of stress. Preventing isolation. | | |
|
|
| | Sunday, March 8th (AM) “Willpower” isn’t a thing. It’s a made up concept that people try to use to explain why some people behave differently than other people. | | |
|
| | Sunday, March 8th (PM) What’s said to us and what we say to ourselves, over and over and over again over the course of years, becomes our programming. | | |
|
|
| | Monday, March 9th (AM) A lot of the time we are inundated with suggestions from well-meaning people who absolutely insist they “know” what we need. | | |
|
| | Monday, March 9th (PM) Manage this minute. This day. This hour. This mile. No matter how hard you try, you cannot manage tomorrow’s feelings in advance. | | |
|
|
| | Tuesday, March 10th (Blog) "GREAT EXPECTATIONS ARE NOT YOUR FRIEND." You need to create a life that you like. A life that allows you the opportunity to pursue your goals and live your values— in the everyday world. | | |

|
|
| | Wednesday, March 11th (AM) You can’t read peoples’ minds, and you can’t tell the future. Your brain wants you to THINK you can, though. | | |
|
| | Wednesday, March 11th (PM) Most people have to meet a lot of people who don’t fit quite right before finding one who does. | | |
|
|
| | Thursday, March 12th (Blog): “THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF MANAGING FEAR.” If a person is scared, they don’t need a lecture about their bad attitude. They need tools and skills to manage both the situation and their emotions effectively. | | |
|
| | Thursday, March 12th (PM) The old saying that “no one will love you until you learn to love yourself” has caused a lot of people a lot of unnecessary misery. It’s neither true nor helpful. Many people struggle with their self-esteem. “Learning to love yourself” is a process that can take a long time— especially if someone has been in abusive . . . | | |
|
|
| | Friday, March 13th (AM) Yes, life is short in some ways. But it’s also long in others. We can’t let the often remarked upon shortness of life pressure us into rushing projects that need time to unfold. | | |
|
| | Friday, March 13th (PM) Other people will tell you you’re doing it wrong. They’ll tell you you’re being immature. They’ll tell you to grow up or get a grip. What those other people don’t know is . . . | | |
