elis went to school happily in excitement to sing national day songs. everything changed when something made me uber pissed off again in the morning. but it was chilled after some singing with my clique. had emotional talk. it was not as bad as i thought. i've learnt quite abit.
5 steps emotional empowerment
1. identify the feeling
2. acknowledge the feeling
3. express the feeling in words or actions
4. change perspective and beliefs
5. take action
i am me.
in the world, there is no one else exactly like me.
everything that comes out of me is authentically mine because i alone choose it.
i own everything about me - my body, including everything it does; my mind, including all my thoughts and ideas; my eyes, including the images of all they behold; my feelings whatever they might be - anger, joy, frustration, love: my mouth and all the words that come out of it - sweet and rough, correct or incorrect.
when i review later how i looked and sounded, what i said and did, and how i thought and felt, some parts may turn out to be unfitting. i can discard that which is unfitting and keep that which proved fitting, and invent something new for that which i discarded.
i own me. i am me and i am okay.
this is what i did, and what did i get in return? go against me! i believe i'm right. you have no right to control me.
blood pressure shot to the max, and broke down. you don't seem to care much about my feelings. are you that insensitive? i was very disappointed.
i love you lessie for listening to my sad problematic life for more than an hour. get well soon alright?
and much love to my clique. plus, jean and fad.
and yt for rushing down to meet me, spend the whole afternoon listening to me, consoling me, and end my day with laughter. you've been great!
though it was a long time ago, i miss those messages from day till night, and those random calls from you.
