The critic in your head is your bodyguard. Its job has long been done.
The cruellest thing you say to yourself was designed to keep you safe.
-
-
You don’t have to earn the right to be here
You’ve been paying rent on your own existence for years.
-
The three-day rage (and the gap that ended it)
Someone says two words and you’re gone for three days.
-
What your feelings are actually telling you (a field guide)
Anger isn’t a character flaw. It’s an alarm with a specific message.
-
Your boundaries are a gift to the people they upset
Every time you rescued someone, you stole a lesson they needed.
-
The first time you say no, this will happen
You’ll set the boundary kindly. And they’ll say, “What’s wrong with you?”
-
Nobody is coming to look after you (and why that’s the best news you’ll get this year)
No one can know you’re hungry but you.
-
The resentment you’ve been calling kindness
Everyone thinks you’re lovely.
-
It was never about boundaries
You know the words. “No, thank you.” “Not this time.” “I’d rather not.”
-
Simple, not easy
Everything that finally helped me could be written on an index card.
