aaargh.. just lost my comment. ok, let’s redo this. There are mindfulness tools out there to minimise the duration of “bad” feelings without repressing them. It also helps identify these feelings and stop us from acting on them or being crippled by these feelings and making them worse. Also, agree with despoina.. if we don’t respect ourselves, we are clearly teaching our kids not to respect themselves either. The world is usually a strange place brimming with weird and infinite permutations and combinations that means that we always have options and should never have to just “put up with it”.

Oh my!! I knew what I was doing all along didn’t feel right – Thank you for pointing out the obvious to me. How easy is it to go with the flow of life because you think that it what everyone else wants for you – continuing to self sabatoage will only result in flushing your life down the toilet! My life is great and mine to make the most of.

Thanks again

I totally agree with you. If we don’t respect, value and love ourselves, how do we expect other people do so?

This is exactly what i needed – i need to keep my power rather than giving it up – thinking I am less than someone else – as if someone has greater worth than me! I printed this to tuck away for those moments when I need to pull my power back. Thanks so much for helping!

I’ve had this website saved in “my favourites” for so long. I’ve never really delved into the site before today.

Absolutely inspirational.

I was 153kg & am now 140.5kg & need to get to 75kg to 80kg.

You have no B.S approach which I love. Hey it amuses me that a lot of people don’t seem to get your approach & become “self defensive”. I’ve read a couple of articles today & they are all excellent.

Regards

Chris

I recently found your website after doing a search on articles about personal power. I am going through some later in life growing up, I suppose. I have a looooong history of giving up my personal power and dealing with the frustration of feeling powerless and wondering why I’m not getting anywhere. I gave away my power to my ex. I gave away my power every time I avoided conflict. Every time I think I’ve made strides in the right direction something happens to make me realize I haven’t quite gotten there yet. Then I realize I have been letting fear dictate my life once again, especially the fear of not being liked, which has led me to a lot of poor choices. Anyway your article really hit home. I keep refering to it as I make my way out of this hole I’ve fallen into and reclaim the power I stupidly gave away. My husband keeps telling me I am powerful and it took nearly hitting bottom to see it. I was taught that power was a bad thing, powerful people were bad people. I’m wondering where that myth came from…Thanks!

i liked your last point…. i think being with the whiners can really zip up your self confidence.
