"The only way we can have fully formed selves is by granting ourselves the same tenderness and fierce protectiveness we'd otherwise reserve for a beloved child. " ~Self Nurture, by Alice Domar.

Good lesson to learn.

I read this book to fulfill the goal "read a self improvement book" I didn't like it at first. it mostly was all about how to meditate, and she kept tying our problems back to unresolved anger at our parents and spouses. I thought it was a bunch of malarky, but as i read the book i started deep belly breathing. it didn't seem to make much difference. that evening though, i discovered i was more cheerful. i actually laughed out loud at something which i almost never do. i was singing and moderately happy. it happened the next day too. i still don't think i have any issues with my parents or really my spouse that are making me sick, but somehow the exaggerated deep breathing does seem to make me feel better, and for that reason i am glad i read the book.
