Twelve Steps to Love

Came across this lovely list and want to share it. An excellent tool for being kind to yourself while you heal. With thanks to whomever created it, to which I've added my ten cents for survivors.

1.    If it feels wrong don't do it.
2.    Say EXACTLY what you mean - or as near as you can.
3    Don't be a people pleaser.
4.    Trust your instincts.
5.    Never speak negatively of yourself.
6.    Never give up on your dreams.
7.    Don't be afraid to say NO.
8.    Don't be afraid to say YES.
9.    Be kind to yourself.
10.   Let go of what you can't control.
11.    Stay away from drama and negativity.
12.    LOVE.

If you like this list, copy it, print it, hang it in a prominent place.

    I was some years into a successful career as a journalist when my emergency hit. I woke up one morning unable to wiggle the toes of my right foot. It led to my putting together the pieces of the abuse -- sexual, physical and emotional as well as neglect and abandonment -- in my childhood. Eventually, I wrote my book out of my experience. And now, 24 years later, I'm glad I did my my healing work. It was hard but it's been worth it.
