WHAT are some steps you need to take if your emotions are getting in the way of your progress?

WHERE were your boundaries in the past compared to where they are now?

WHY should people, places, and experiences change as you grow?

WHEN a similar situation happens do you think the outcome will always be the same? 

HOW has giving attention to your present goals helped you to start letting go of your past?

What is Resentment?

1. Bitter indignation at having been treated unfairly or undervalued.

2. A feeling of persistent ill will or displeasure at something wrong ethically by insult or injury.

3. A feeling of non-stop or uncontrolled anger because you have been forced to accept something you do not like.

What is Forgiveness?

1. It is not an action, But a feeling or thought of no longer feeling anger or hate towards another person for something they did or said or didn't do. 

2. A decision to let go of the resentment and anger or hurt you may be holding inside. 

3. For- going towards     Give- send away/ hand over/ offer.  When you forgive a person you free your mind, body, and soul of them and what they wanted to leave with you. You GIVE it AWAY, Hand it Over, Let it GO

Self-Reflection Points

• When something reminds you of past negative experiences your reaction is usually more intense than those of totally new situations. You may feel that you already know what to do because this already happened to you. 

• Remember to stay grounded and deal with each situation as a new one with new facts.  Give yourself time to process each situation like it's a new one don't assume what the outcome is going to be. 

• Setting boundaries and having a full and productive schedule can help you to avoid repeating bad choices. 

• Plan to be productive every day and be sure that all the people, places, and things are in alignment with your VESPM health and goals for the day. 

• Don’t let your emotions set the stage for ineffective decision-making. 

• As you grow and your boundaries and VESPM health advance, keep in mind that this growth is yours, and everyone is not growing with you, so be aware of those who are not ready to welcome these advances. 

• You must be ready to embrace your new path it may feel and look different for you and those around you.

• Get support and keep busy doing productive things that you can be proud of. Think of some long-term self-motivating projects that will help you to grow as a person; taking a class, learning a new skill, starting a hobby, meditating, writing, singing, reading, walking, etc. YOU cannot grow without change!
