in Getting Started
A funny thing happened the other day and for the first time, ever, I stopped said "No you are not going to allow another person's bad behavior towards you to derail your path to health." AND I DIDN'T. My first thought when I was treated unkindly was to find something to put into my mouth. That same crazy need to hurt my progress. For the first time in my life I said, no I will not let another person's behavior affect me. It was a liberating feeling and I am grateful for the experience. I can do it, I will do it, just watch me do it!

    That's such a wonderful insight and achievement: Congratulations! I sometimes think that getting those psychological switches to flip in our own heads is one of the most difficult but productive parts of improving our lives.

    Good show!

    Amen to that !!

    Last month, I was briefly utterly immersed in Reddit for about a week before I deleted the app as a black hole of time wastage.

    The youngsters on there continually harp about LC (low contact) and NC (no contact) with toxic ( everybody and everything is toxic to youth on Reddit….) and I thought it was unnecessary drama, until I realized that was exactly what I’d done, quietly for the most part, and my life is 1,0000% better for it.
