On Nov. 30 someone left me a comment that at first sight embarrassed me. I pondered briefly if I should post it or not, and then did - because I did still want to acknowledge the person's sentiment. They had sent it anonymously, and there was no other means by which I could have acknowledged seeing it. I would actually have loved hearing more from you, whoever you are. It's obvious you benefitted from some idea expounded here and that's why you were apprciative of me. But I want you to know that we recongnize in others qualities we have within us - what we don't have, we cannot 'see' in someone else. So, write down in your list of positive things about yourself that 'you are great' :-) ... and next time please say more, and let me know what touched you so much. And, of course, thank you very much for writing in :-)!

I would love feedback on how yesterday's exercise went for people. Was it better, or was it worse, to not be 'reactive', and instead, just breathe out negative emotions? If you did try it, believe me you did yourself a huge favor on another count. It has now been proven by even mainstream medicine that toxic emotions cause a host of diseases in us. It is, therefore, better to externalize negative/toxic emotions than to keep mulling over them and to find ways to keep perpetuating them. If you haven't yet had any opportunity to practice yesterday's exercise, you can use the same steps to help yourself process any residual anger you are holding within from a recent conflict you've had with someone. New behaviours require a little time - give yourself the gift of that time ... 'cause you are worth it :-)!
