Utility Hassles
I was offline for more than 2 weeks because we moved and it took awhile for ATT to get out and turn on DSL. Long story, but I am neither a fan of ATT or Comcast. Both let us down big time! However, when I wanted TV on, one call to DirectTV and they were out the next day. TV on – quality and service – great. If you are looking for new TV service, here is my recommendation: http://www.big5stardeals.com . Follow the link and you will be on your way to no-hassle TV installation.
On a different note, I’m worn out and tired and have decided I need to spend some time just loving myself. Like many of you, I have this voice in my head, following me around and criticizing my every move. I’ve decided to ignore the voice and focus on the positive. I want to treat myself with compassion. If I make a mistake, I want to show myself the same consideration I show others. Today, I will look in the mirror and tell myself how valuable I am, how special I am and remind myself of how many people love me. If you know me, you know this is not the way I usually treat myself. And so it has become my New Year’s resolution.
I hope you can treat yourself loving as well. If you want to send me loving, warm, positive thoughts, I’m all ears and more than happy to scratch your back in return.

I am one of those people whose inner critic is stuck on “high”. Treating ourselves with compassion is a great idea. Strange that we even have to think about something like that. I’ll keep your words in mind, thanks.
I’ve realized that I don’t need anyone to criticize me. I do all that and more quite nicely. I think people would be surprised at the depth of vitriol I can throw at myself.
It is strange we have to remind ourselves of this. I would never say or think the things I do about my friends and loved ones – even strangers. It’s time to turn my compassion and love I send outward, inward.
Thanks for stopping by!
You’re a wonderful person with a giving spirit… Thanks again for all your help…

Thanks so much!
I was missing your emails in my inbox! That inner critic is hard to get a handle on sometimes. We don’t want to crush him for good (funny how its automatically a “him” in my head!) because he has a positive side as well… he drives us to self-improvement and success but just like fear there are two types: the healthy fear and the phobia fear.
In my opinion the best thing to do to rein in the inner critic is to tell him you’re “doing the best you can” and to take the time you refer to and show “him” how to love yourself with compassion. You are just as important and as worthy of compassion as everyone else in your life – maybe even MORE SO because so many people likely rely on you for compassion and understanding they don’t get anywhere else.
We all need to demonstrate we’re worthy of receiving compassion and love by giving it to ourselves – so love yourself deeply and be kind – you are entitled to it!
