Some Quick and Easy Steps to Disassemble Yourself for the Better Part 1

January 30, 2006

See yourself for the scum that you are.

Take a big look at yourself on the mirror, then turn off the lights. The image reflected is pretty much useless. What you see there is an illusion. You won’t be needing your eyes for this one anyway.

Accept that you have your faults and hypocrises.

Write them all down. There’s no such thing as an underdog. There never truly was.

Do I really have to write them down. That list could go on for a very long time.
My faults don't bother me when other point them out but I find they bother me when I point them out to myself.

Yes. The list does matter Coop. It's like lashing yourself with a cane X no. of times until the blood flows freely from your veins.

Yeah, the worst critic is yourself. Ain't THAT a kick in the head?

I have a friend who is in recovery. She recently "fell off the wagon" and told me she never looked as bad before as she does now, the morning after. I told her she did. The difference was, she liked herself less now when she looked in the mirror because of what the image was saying back to her.
Peace………………

Hello there Helen,

I'm sorry to hear about what happened to your friend. Seeing what we really are is one of THE worst and best things that will ever happen in our lifetime. I do hope that your friend doesn't just stop looking at the mirror, but that she would do something about it.

Peace back at ya sister…….
