AF's Be Gone
To throw off the yolk of the AF's is something that I want to consciously acknowledge. How do I do this?I do this by validating myself.I do this with the following mantra-:

* What I think is important to my well being.
* My plans are possible and definitely achievable.
* My feelings and decisions matter to me and are relevant.
* Not agreeing or seeing eye to eye with my parents is not going to kill me.
* Respect is a two-way street,not a one way highway.I cannot support bullying tactics. I will retaliate an/or react.

This is a big deal for me. Although I began my adult life with a clear idea of what I wanted to do,to be educated,to have my profession,I also found myself losing my way sometimes...although I never left my profession during trying times.
Now, I say to myself,live,have the experiences that I want,know that if one thing fails or is slow in working out,that I have other options. Know that I can survive, I can make that change. Just know that I can succeed.
