sometimes standing up for myself means:
STEP 1: ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
acknowledging that i feel hurt
acknowledging that i feel fear
STEP 2:DISSECTION
thinking about what i truely want from the situation -
do i want this for myself?
do i want to be seen to be good?
STEP 3: COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS
what is the benefit to me?
what is the cost to me and those i love?
do i want to persue this no matter what?
STEP 4:WEIGHT TO LIGHT RATIO
weighing ALL the factors up.
finding out which option brings more light
After much analysis and heart examination (and chickens in my head) i have done the above step wise process and i now am walking away.
This is revolutionary
i used to think standing up for myself meant fighting
sword and breastplate and speaking my truth as the fire licked my JoanofArcish ankles
but now i see that walking away with integrity is a loving and valid way to stand up for myself.
my own revolution
