Happy new year to all!
One of my new year's resolutions is that I am going to be more accepting of things about myself that I have hated for most of my life. Here is the list:
One of my new year's resolutions is that I am going to be more accepting of things about myself that I have hated for most of my life. Here is the list:
- Being very unfocused and distractable and easy overlooking and not picking up on things.
- Being judgmental of myself and others.
- Being easily frustrated and impulsive when challenges arise.
- Feeling like an angry victim when things don't go my way and then giving up on what I want.
- Feeling inferior to most people.
- Being lost in fantasy dreaming of being someone everyone admires.
- Not standing up for myself.
- Being arrogant and feeling superior to certain people.
- Being lost in the need for others to approve of me.
- Being contained and withdrawn and coming across and standoffish.
- Not being socially conscious.
- Being dorky and awkward in social situations.
- Being indecisive.
- Being dishonest and looking to take the easy road.
- Being greedy and never feeling like I have enough money.
- Beating myself up for my mistakes and for everything else I have written here.

Hi Alex. I just read through your list and decided that every single one of these qualities could have been on my list at sometime in this life. Especially the beating up one. I pray that we all (you, me, everyone) can learn to be very gentle with ourselves when we’re feeling inferior, not-enough, frustrated, impulsive, afraid, indecisive. Maybe we all just need to fall in love with ourselves a little more? And then some of those things just naturally drop away. ?? Kathy
