Understanding gaslighting
Gaslighting That never happened You're imagining things Why are you so sensitive If these sound familiar you might be experiencing gaslighting . You remember the conversation you know what you saw you know what they said but they deny it. They calmly and confidently look at you with eyes that say are you OK? You start questioning yourself. Did I really hear that? Maybe I just misunderstood. That's exactly what they want. Gaslighting isn't just lying. It's getting you to wonder whether you can even recognize lies anymore. The gaslighters goal is to make you feel dependent on them for your sense of reality.

Question of the day
What if the opposite of my most negative thoughts or assumptions is actually true? What would change in my current mood?

Thought for the day
“Ships don’t sink because of the water around it. They sink because of the water that gets in it.” This powerful analogy can be applied to our lives in a profound way. Just as a ship is vulnerable to the water that seeps in, our hearts and minds can be negatively impacted by the "garbage" we allow to enter. This "garbage" can come in many forms: negative thoughts, toxic relationships, unhealthy habits, or even harmful media. It's crucial to be mindful of what we let into our inner world. By consciously choosing to surround ourselves with positivity, inspiration, and supportive influences, we can create a strong, resilient vessel that can weather any storm.

@Dinka Salvador Nowhere does it say to be positive 100% of the time. You are right, that is impossible, but if half of your time is spent in a negative state what do you think the outcome will be. It's better to think positive. For example, someone hacked into my bank account and robbed me blind. Because of that I'm losing my storage. I wasn't able to pay most of my bills and despite the bank knowing that it's fraud they made me pay back what the fraudsters did. Not only that, my electricity and phone got turned off so I'm living without electricity right now and I can't make any phone calls. Yes, it bothered me. It even pissed me off, but I'm not going to allow this to crush me. I get 1,240.00 a month on SSI. My last check after they took what they did I was left with 166.00 for the month. If I focus on the negative I'll get crushed. I let the storm face me, but like the bison I faced the storm and I'll get through this storm just like I have every other storm. I'm staying positive even though this situation really put me near rock bottom.
Food for thought
Change starts by taking ownership. No more excuses or waiting for others to act. You have the power to transform your life, and it begins with you. Taking responsibility means you stop being a victim of your circumstances.
