What Have You Learned About Yourself Recently??

I have been doing mindfulness every day for some time now, and god what a difference it makes! I feel more confident, happy and thoughtful.
 
That after 15 years as a stay at home mom I am valued for my other abilities
 
That I’ve started to understand the things that happened to me in the past well enough to speak to those closest to me, when the past causes present issues. (Now that was hard to put, trying to be discrete!) What I’m not sure about, is how people will take that.

But I’ve learned that when someone is important to me, I give completely honesty.

And that I am incredibly insecure!
 
I need to be myself and let it be just sit here and watch the wheels go round and round
 
That more often than not I give more than I should and I am ready for a different kind of friendship.
 
My tolerance for people who can not manage Polite, Professional or do their jobs is right on the same level with my tolerance for stupid...:rolleyes:
 
That I can just say no to the Opportunity Of A Lifetime and not feel like I'm missing out on anything.

(And laugh smugly when said Opportunity goes up in flames a few months later, but that's a different lesson, isn't it?)
 
I have infinite patience for certain people, even to the point of allowing them to burn me up inside.
 
That asking for what I need is hard for me.
Chasing down what I need is impossible.
Waiting patiently is frustrating but comfortable.

❤️‍🩹 damn girl, you knew yourself so well.

That I have become comfortable in my career position and it has led to me being less intense in every aspect of my life.
 
That I can let go, with the right person. I always thought I was too uptight for that
 
Childhood lessons are so ingrained that I still find it almost impossible to ask for help. I will struggle, and fight my way through every single thing that tries to drag me down. And by God, I will overcome it. But I'll do it alone, unless someone practically forces the help on me.

I've learned a lot in life, but I can't seem to learn this lesson. :eek:
 
I still get unexpected panic episodes in situations that, for all intents and purposes, are not all that stressful. But something about the situation, the mileu, some element of unexpected confusion.... And it still takes hours to wear off. Leaves me drained. I am so much more at ease in familiar surroundings.
 
People that I have previously written off as not worth my time have been surprising me lately.
 
1. Things that I tried to push away, are coming back...I need to deal with it to do better at work.

2. I realize how much I love my husband and family, and how much he does for us.

3. Its ok to ask for help sometimes.
 
That I might be submissive when I want to be but that doesn't mean I'm a doormat whenever you want me to be.

The two are entirely unrelated
What Base said here...

Being a doormat has nothing to do with being submissive.
Nothing, not a single thing.

Not every so-called Dom seems to know that.

Then they aren't a Dom.

Then they don't get all of the amazing things that come with your submission

Exactly. Excellent advice. :)
