Or how about when someone hurts your children? Mama Bear has to transmute the desire to slap someone to Tuesday! Iโ€™m presently having victory โœŒ๐Ÿฝ but it is a process. Low and slow I go on the inside. Outwardly, prepping for family visit and one is moving in!๐ŸฆEat more ice cream ๐Ÿจ!๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ˜‰

The rage you feel when someone messes with your kid! It's such a process

The lessons requiring more process, give the best results. I need incentives to stay the course. โ›ณ๏ธ

Take a gander at Mel Robbinโ€™s movement and book called โ€œLet Themโ€ฆโ€ Itโ€™s trendy right now so think of yourself as trendy because your words are on par with her truth.

I hadn't heard of her before. I have no idea what her content is about โ€“ it's probably great โ€“ but the 'put yourself first' marketing doesn't resonate with me. Of course there are healthy and unhealthy ways to put yourself first. For me, I think of the unhealthy versions first.

I do like the idea I imagine is behind 'Let themโ€ฆ' though.

Any specific podcast episodes you recommend? I I doubt I'll read the book because I'm avoiding personal-growth nonfiction this year

She can verge on being a little well annoying. But sheโ€™s strong and I donโ€™t want to associate strong with annoying. I donโ€™t know of her podcast. I heard some of her stuff on Instagram just little short stuff but I think you are not doing Instagram? Yes I agree with you. It has a bit of a self-centered tone to it, but I think many people with our current political situation are looking for ways to protect and validate themselves, including their uncomfortable feelings of now what?!

Fineliners โ€“ Staedtler pigment liner, 0.6 and 1.2 mm

I also have a Lamy Safari fountain pen for writing.
