[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 676347, member: 19522"] You know SWOT being sensitive and empaths, makes this all a[I] bit trickier[/I]. I think people don't realize the burden of [I][B]over-feeling[/B][/I]. It is a blessing, and a curse, as we have to sift through the intense feelings, push past stuff we [I]shouldn't even own[/I], and work from there............. It is even harder, with a difficult past, all of the negative tapes, makes us more inclined to think self care = [I]selfish[/I]. There is nothing further from the truth. We do have to learn to be more positive and kind to ourselves, don't be overly critical of our mistakes, and [I]forgive ourselves[/I], the way we do others. I am caught in self bashing too many times, "that was so stupid......I am so clumsy".......whereas, if someone near me tripped, even a stranger, I would be saying to them "Are you okay?" Helping them up, etc., etc. I think it is a good resolution to be kinder to ourselves. If we have compassion for ourselves, I think we will be able to be even more compassionate towards others. I hope we are both able to overcome our biggest challenge, being nice to ourselves! Thank you, Serenity. :angel: (((Hugs))) leafy [/QUOTE]
