[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 13184, member: 3353"] That takes alot of strength, JoG. Acknowledging that we are sabotaging our own best efforts takes alot of strength too, I think. It always surprises me when I spot it, and I always wonder which are the self-imposed limits I allow without being able to spot them. I hope you are able to go on your retreat without your child this year. It is important for us to learn who we are when we are not someone's wife or someone's mother. Maybe you could present it to husband as a special time for he and your child? Nomad, you must have read the first book these authors wrote! This one is called The Artist's Way at Work, and is about encouraging that magical part of us that is creative and child-like in the face of corporate success ~ or, failure. Learning to cherish and accept our creativity is likened to learning to ride a dragon without being destroyed by it. I can't recommend it enough, for any of us. I am going to read the first one, which is for artists, too. (Just for the record, you guys? Corporate success ~ or failure ~ had nothing to do with why I read this book! [img]:laugh:[/img]) Hearthope, there are so many negatives connected with what I remember my mother teaching me. Surely, there must be as many positives ~ but I am not consciously aware of those either, I suppose. The interesting piece about self-sabotage as it was presented in this book is that, when we look at the problem areas in our lives ~ the things we believe we have no control over ~ we will find that these challenges exist because they serve our sabotaging selves in some way. So, I am taking a look at things from that angle? And I think it might be true. Barbara [/QUOTE]
