Here is yet another share, but it's slightly different than the normal for me. I attempt to talk about step 11 of the 12 step process. Enjoy. 

Are you deciding your worth with just one measurement? Is it the scale? Is it your ability to keep a partner? Your current job? Maybe we could kindly remind ourselves that 1 measurement is not enough to see a whole picture. 

It's hard to make decisions. Pressure to get it right. Pressure to know what you want. And saying yes to one thing means saying no to all the alternatives. Be easy with yourself when decisions seem tough, they are. 

Do you look down on people for their "position" in life? Maybe we would do better to look at what they do as hard, so hard in fact, that we were willing to do work to avoid it. 

Here's a share from my good friend Jason G., celebrating his 2nd year. 

Thinking can be the enemy. We give our thoughts so much power, and we tend to let them stand in the way of what needs to be done. We are tired, we don't want to, we have other interests. Sometimes, we wait to feel like doing something in order to do it. But that's not going to work. We have to do it in order to feel it. Get moving and don't think, just do. 

Have you boxed yourself into a definition of who you are? Are you struggling to do something you normally do, and feeling like something is wrong because you aren't doing it? Could it be that you are just in a different place and doing different things right now? Can you accept where you are?

Just another share that says pretty much what all the other ones do. Enjoy.

Murray Bowen's Family System Theory is still important in the world of family therapy. He delves into explaining how deeply we are impacted today from the family of origin, and whether we developed optimally. Are you differentiated from your family of origin?

The only time I'm not learning is when I'm not actually present. If my mind is elsewhere, I won't learn a thing. But when my awareness is front and certain, everything is a teacher, and I am able to be a student of the world.
