Part 2 of the exercise discussed yesterday is to write a
list of 10 things you should have learned by now. Here is my list:
10 Things I Should Have Learned By Now
(1) Dishes never wash themselves. Particularly if you don't have a dishwasher.
(2) Trust your gut.
It doesn't have a reason to lie to you.
If other people don't trust your gut, trust it anyway. If you're on the fence as to whether or not
to trust it, trust it. If you're not
sure if you want to trust it, or you're not sure why it's telling you
something, just go with it. I don't know
why, and I don't know how it works, but you've got to trust it. End of story.
(3) When people show you who they truly are, believe them
the first time around.
(4) A few deep
breaths can move you further than you think.
(5) Perfectionism is too much work.
(6) From a book I use with my clients: worries are like
tomatoes. The more you tend to them, the
more they grow.
(7) Self care. Learn
it. Live it. Love it.
(8) Anxiety is just a big bully. You can stand up to it, set limits with it,
and teach it not to push you around.
(9) Weird things happen to me with statistically significant
frequency.
(10) I am so much stronger than I believe.
What about you? What should you have learned by now?
