Caring

If we are to care effectively, we are to care for ourselves. This is from my QT book btw.

Build a proper self-image or self-concept.

Pay careful attention to your physical functioning.

Build into your daily schedule time when you can be alone.

Recognise your limitations and don’t go beyond them. People always use the verse “I can do everything through him who gives me strength.” But a better translation is “I can do everything God asks me to with the help of Christ who gives me the strength and power.”

Be gentle with yourself whenever you fail or make a mistake.

Learn to receive love whenever it is offered to you. Many people are able to give love, but unable to receive it.

I just realised as I was typing this that Amanda and I were just chatting about this in school last week. About how you can’t love someone else if you can’t love yourself. I think I’m just struggling with the first one now.

Hmmm. 3 posts in a day. I have lots to say today huh.
