while your nurture is the particular family in a given generational point in time.

so much depends on the quality and the variety in the environment.

Children who are effectively stimulated, challenged and encouraged will be more socially capable and thrive better than children raised in homes that limit their intellectual develop and exposure to …. well everything.

I was treated as a mini adult at home. While that did make me stand out from my peer group, it was a comfortable place for me – a pertepetual outsider to be.

On every scale of measurement, I so never feel into normal ranges or averages.

well, it’s depressing to be praised for your work, when you know exactly how little effort it took to accomplish it.

the goals that we set for ourselves are often more lofty and satisfying than any goal set by other people.

 

 

why would you want to go down with someone else’s ship. in a self made disaster no less

they are never going to appreciate you for your effort

your needs never get met if you don’t put them first and make you a priority

the first rule of emergency preparedness of rescuers is to keep themselves safe

so apply that principle to mental health and self care-taking.

One can help people – more effectively and even more people, when your own needs are at or closest to 100% taken care of, not running at 70%

part of that is helping but not getting emotionally involved with the person and their problem, even while solving it

it’s about maintaining an awareness of your sphere of influence and span of control – compared to your actual responsibility in the situation

it’s okay to go above and beyond, but that needs to be acknowledged and not taken as their due.

imagine a social org chart box; remember what your relationship to them is

how that fits in the hierarchy and web of all your relationships

perspective, it’s a wonderful and magical thing sometimes
