of 5! Almost there. The finish line for a partial race to being completely certified for DV Certification. California time on The Emerald Coast again today. Lunch is mid-afternoon and close of business is way after PJ time. I am grateful for all of the knowledge I have gained and I am looking forward to what unfolds today.
I am grateful for being sober and waking up today well rested and ready to tackle the day. I have have to finish notes from the DV group on Thursday. Let me just say....when one man said he realizes now that his girlfriend, "didn't deserve it," I was relieved. The topic was basically on "the things we tell ourselves. " Based on how your parents or guiding adults in your life shaped your inner automatic self-talk. What did your parents say to you about you? You're dumb? You will never amount to anything? You're fat? You're a pain in my ar$&? What was it? Now. What do you tell yourself in uncertain or certain situations? The Put Downs of Parents are the lies we tell ourselves over and over. Is what they said still being resounded in your head?
Change the station for yourself. Arrest those thoughts and turn those automatic thoughts into the truth. The positive. Change your words and change your thoughts. Change your emotions and behaviors. What a great way to live!
I am grateful for learning more about cultural influences and contexts related to DV and the historical contexts that shadow relationships today. Good stuff.
I am grateful for Shiloh allowing me to pick her up and pet her 2 days in a row.
