Accept Yourself

Accept yourself as you are. Otherwise you will never see opportunity. You will not feel free to move toward it; you will feel you are not deserving.

Covert narcissists are perhaps the more dangerous of the narcissistic types. The covert narcissists are nice and yet equally draining and extremely dangerous.  

It’s not always easy to exactly single out what they’re doing wrong, but your gut knows it and you often feel drained, nervous and even angry after spending time with them.  These are the wolves in sheep’s clothing and they have a secret language all their own.

How to identify the secret language of covert narcissists:

1. No Energy Match

You feel empty when you’re around them.  Listen to your body signals.  Energy doesn’t lie.

2. Poor Me

You feel sorry for them and you naturally want to help.  These are among the most draining and irritating narcissist.  

3. Ribbons and Bows

The guilt giver is the covert narcissist who loves to give and do favors as a way to manipulate you. A gift with strings attached is not a gift.  Just say NO.

4. Help Me (Not Really)

Obsessed with problems, this covert narcissist won’t call you until they need your advice (which they’ll NEVER take).  If you feel drained and headachy after “helping”, BEWARE, you’re being used as a dumping ground.

5. Broke On Purpose

The things which hurt, instruct

Quote

Some experiences cause us pain.

Define your own reality

Don't let someone else's opinion of you become your reality.

It's going to be worth it

I'm not telling you it's going to be easy - 

I'm telling you it's going to be worth it.

Art Williams

You don't always need a Plan

You don't always need a plan. Sometimes you just need to breathe, trust, let go and see what happens.

Never wish them pain

Never wish them pain. That's not who you are. If they caused you pain, they must have pain inside. Wish them healing. That's what they need.
