To want to ignore meanness and
irrationality makes total sense…
But as a strategy? Seriously defective!
We don't like seeing the dark side of
others, especially when we recognize our powerless to control it.
In reality this aspect of humankind is
frightening but when we ignore it, at the best we waste time, and at the worst
we weaken our defenses and open ourselves to trouble!
DANCE WITH IT! EXPERIENTIAL APPS
An opportunity to experiment with some fun ideas…
3 SELF CARE STEPS:
1) See
it!
As tempting as it is, ignoring warning
signs is dangerous!
2) Recognize
the signs!
If several people say the same thing about
someone, pay attention.
Sudden flares of anger - rants - should ring
warning bells.
Irrational behavior, either verbal or
actions, should also ring those alarms.
3) Pay
attention to your own arrogance!
'I can handle it' is a definite self
warning.
