"I would never treat anyone the way I treat myself"

Have said that so many times. Awful, isn't it? Think about that statement. So hard on me...the self bashing-automatic/incredibly harsh/unfair. Where does it come from? How did this attitude get so ingrained? When did it start? How come my awareness isn't enough to soften it/slow it down/stop it?

It's SHAME...shame for someone else's abuse of me. Does not make sense. But, that's what it is.

The best antidote I have come up with is to pause...take a deep breath...let it out slow...try to hug myself...try to acknowledge the positive things I have accomplished. Try to support myself.

Be good to you today...please..............................
