How little do I value me, let me count the ways

I had a client this week shitting all over herself about her bad speech. "I'm sorry I messed that up. I just can't do anything right today. I didn't sleep good last night. I'm just terrible today." Wah, wah, wah.
I asked her what she would do if I told her she was stupid and fat. She said, “I’d tell you to go to hell.” (With pretty good speech.). “So why is it OK for you to say that to yourself?” I asked.

We all do this. It's insidious. And it's optional.

Optional. It really is about choosing what to listen to. So much swims about in our noodles. And what we choose to echo sticks. Good thoughts . . .
