Thank you for asking us questions

Catherine, I like when you ask us questions to journal later and have especially appreciated these: 1, "Do I know the difference between being loved and valued? What do each look like? Do I value myself? Do I love myself?" (I can't give away what I don't have.) "How do I demonstrate value to others?" 2. Paying attention to my "shoulds", make a list of them. Which ones trigger emotions? 3. "What do I need to do to release being right/feeling guilty/being defensive?" I can give myself 24 hours to beat myself up, but then ask myself, "What have I learned? What do I need to do?", and put it to bed. 4. There are only two reasons to look back: to recognize blessings or to ask, "What did I learn? and "How can I create a practice of forgiving myself?".
