I realize I sound a bit crazy when I talk about having bad days that aren’t so bad (as I do here. And here). It is so comfortable and…different…to not fear what you feel. To really get that whatever is going on for you is human, perfectly okay, not the least bit meaningful, and on its
Positive feelings are built into who you are. They are part of your design, they were in your original blueprints, they come pre-installed when you were born.
