100 steps! I've learned that mindfulness and meditation are key. Where's it been my whole life?

Accept others for who they are, you can't change other people.

I can get better.

I have learned to take it one day at a time, as cliched as that sounds, or even one hour or even one minute at a time. I guess that's the essence of mindfulness, taking life minute-by-minute and not looking back or ahead. The benefit to me is a *huge* reduction in stress! I still look ahead, but I try to only do this when thinking of what I want to accomplish that day, week and month, scheduling upcoming events, etc. and I try to only look back when it's in the moment, e.g. I will remember the events when I work on organizing my digital photos, but only during the process, not after. "Inch by inch, life's a cinch. Yard by yard, life is hard." Mindfulness in a nutshell.

Healing comes in waves - I don't just plow straight though it.

I deserve to have boundries and to have them respected.

I've learned more about balancing the taking care of myself, and others. It's important for me to own the fact that I have to come first. That was a foreign concept to me not that long ago. But, the better you take care of self, the better you can help others.

ive learned that what goes down, must come up...so matter no how far youve fallen....you will get back up!

Focusing on what I did well really helps me feel better. I already knew this but I relearned it.
