Everybody hurts, sometimes...

Every one can hurt us at any time.  The closer the person is to you, the more it affects us.  Even strangers can really impact us when we are not feeling at our best.

Everybody hurts!  We are all hurting people & hurting people hurt others.  It may not be blatant, a casual & careless comment, being dismissed when we tell some one about our pain or  being ignored.

It is important to remind ourselves that we choose how others affect us & for how long.  If we dwell on it, keep talking about (especially to ourselves) the hurt-it can cause us more pain than it initially did at first.

I find that when I get hurt it can also trigger pain from the past-and I do not even realize it at the time.

Remember that we can do postive self talk right away-"it is not about me & I will not let others steal my joy"!

Be kind to one another-we are all it!

God Bless
