And I agree that the same practice should be used in all relationships - even the one we have with ourselves, or maybe even ESPECIALLY that one. It is a grand plan to consider whether one's self-talk is thunderous or thoughtful. To many of us are mindful of the china on others' shelves, but when it comes to our own cabinets, we let the bull run wild and just scoop the shards under the rug. I am going to use this analogy to remind myself to be kind toward me and others. It's a grand plan. I enjoy the “bull in the china shop” analogy.
