I roamed in a house with many rooms, until I found you. 🤎

24-hour Rule
_______________________
If something genuinely matters, it will still matter tomorrow.
– No meaning making
– No relational decisions
– No conclusions
If your body is calmer after 24 hours, then you have permission to analyze. Briefly and surgically. ☀️
Reality Testing
Intense feelings that are separate from the situation’s reality. Must be tested. Seek external perspectives, check assumptions, focus on facts, be objective, logical, ask questions, and grab a paper and pen to tally negative self-labels against actual behaviors to analyze discrepancies.
Validation Hunger
External affirmation in pursuit of intensity, admiration and reassurance. Not for connection itself but instead to stabilize the fragile internal self structure.
I Never Cry
The stabilizer cannot destabilize. So dry your eyes and toughen up. There is dirty work to be done, it’s time to pull those sleeves up.
