I’M A LONELY CROC

And ignoring the positive.
Don’t even HEAR the positives.
If we have a constructive assessment which is 90% positive and 10% negative we only see or hear the negative,

A single negative event is seen as a never-ending pattern of defeat.
If the morning begins badly, the whole day is ruined.

We insist our positive qualities or accomplishments don’t count.
We have succeeded many times but we only remember the failure which dominates our mind.

We think we can read people’s minds and conclude they are thinking badly of us.
We think things will turn out badly even when there is absolutely no reason to think so.

Sweating, palpitations, breathing problems, shaking, tingling, tremors…giddiness, faintness, dread, nausea, numbness and fear of impending death and doom are symptoms which can occur.

STRESS CAN BE EXPERIENCED AS IRRITATION AND ANGER. THEY CAN RANT AND RAVE AT THEMSELVES AND OTHERS.

15. RESENTMENT DOES FAR MORE HARM
TO THE VESSEL IN WHICH IT IS STORED
THN THE VESSEL OVER WHICH IT IS POURED

SHARE THINGS WITH OTHERS. THEY CARE ABOUT YOU
YOU SEE THEM EVERY DAY. THEY WORK WITH YOU.

NO MATTER HOW BUSY YOU ARE. TAKE TIME OUT TO JUST RELAX AND REORIENTATE YOURSELF, NOT TO FEEL LIKE A COG IN A WHEEL.

18. TAKE TIME TO RELAX
YOU DON’T HAVE TO FEEL THAT TIME JUST RUNS AWAY WITH YOU.
SPEND TIME ON YOURSELF

WE NEED TO GIVE OUR BEST TO OUR WORK BUT NOT TO GET SWALLOWED UP BY IT.
WE STILL NEED A GOOD SENSE OF SELF

MAKES A VERY BIG DIFFERENCE TO YOU AND TO THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU.
WHATEVER WORK YOU DO IT IS IMPORTANT AND YOU CAN BE PROUD OF IT.

21. A PERSON REACHES FOR THE STARS NOT WHEN HE IS
PUSHED,
PULLED OR
PUNISHED BUT
ONLY WHEN
HE IS
INSPIRED
