Hi Sunny! Keeping a PMA is not easy all the time that's for sure, some days it seems down right impossible.... here are some of the things that help me.
1. When I start thinking negative about this situation,I try to think about something positive, like a complement someone gave me recently, or helping someone out and they appreciated it, makes me remember I'm not crazy.
2. I made a list of everything that was making me happy recently (I posted it a few months ago). The list included simple things like the sound of church bells.
3. I keep telling myself, GOD HAS A PLAN!!!! (It's my mantra lately)
4. I also remind myself to make sure I am doing and saying things out of love (no revenge, that never ends well).
5. Just laugh. Sometimes that's the only thing to do, especially with some of the stuff they will pull!
6. Remember YOU ARE AWESOME!!!
7. Blaring Toby Mac's Gone and singing at the top of my lungs also makes me happy (this should be done in the car, not in the presence of the MLCer). It reminds me I do have some control, I can leave anytime I want to if I so choose.
8. Do something silly, do something fun, do something YOU have always wanted to... it's amazing how great it can make you feel!
9. Pray, pray, pray and pray some more!
10. Read something inspirational be it a book or just an inspirational quote.
Hope these help....
Amazing !!! Thanks a bunch - nice to see how long you are hanging in there so long -- !!!
If someone decides there is no goodness in you they won't be able to see it. I'll take a BLT over a MLC anyday !!!
