Just Smile, Breathe and “Practice” #ExpressingYourself
You ARE built different. You know that, they know that and soon anyone questioning, or thinking about questioning your go to/ tendency to, and likelihood to return to practicing sharing your heart will know that, too.
IM a blockhead, I will admit to that. IM stubborn as hell, sometimes. In my head, my stubbornness is an asset. IM close to two and a half decades post head injury and not being “stubborn” would have me still lying in a hospital bed. I encourage others to dig their heels in to start quantifying results, too. I would suggest possibly starting with growing comfortable staring into your own eyes. Tell yourself that you love yourself. In therapy, I have decided to substitute the word “love” with the word “express.” I’ve realized that I need to slow down and give myself more patience. Nobody likes a frantic bull in a china shop. I need to be more gentle. I need to be more socially aware of my settings and environment. I need stop overthinking everything and accept the fact that my brain, heart and physical body all move at very different speeds.
