Relational Development kicks my butt. Every week. One of the areas that my group has asked me to work on is being negative about myself. Not only would they like me to stop saying negative things but they want me to be proactive in describing myself. So, in order to avoid the ‘no’ for this week I am writing three positive things about myself that you may or may not know.
1. I am loyal. I am loyal to strangers, to the dogs of the earth, to the dark and scary people that no one wants to talk to. I am loyal to everyone.
2. I am smart. Not so much in a MENSA sort of way, but problem solving and understanding of far reaching concepts comes easily to me (Just read my paper on artistic conscience).
3. I am creative. It doesn’t matter if you need to have a plan for a party, a poem, or a set for a bunch of screaming eight year olds . If you present me with a problem or question ideas just flow forth in a way that no one (with exception of Martina the galley wench) understands.
So there is positive in me for all the world to see. Reality: this was like pulling teeth to write.
