Days Without Pirate Attack:

I listened to a really helpful podcast this weekend. Erin Olivo: Emotional Literacy talked about how to respond when you have a strong emotional response to something. Two questions stood out to me:

1. Is there another way to think of this?
2. Do I have the right to make all these rules?

The rules idea made me think even further – did “they” who trained me on the rules have that right?   Am I really going to be kicked out of the tribe for this? The shame is coming only from me.
