Sometimes our frustration with events and people in our lives is directed outward, but we’re really angry at ourselves. Inside, we may wish we could have been more authentic and honest about our feelings instead of just going along with something we didn’t really want. Enduring the momentary discomfort of up-front honesty does wonders at preventing anger and resentment down the road. The best part of this approach to relating is that, when you nip unwanted situations in the bud, there are no pent-upĀ feelings of frustration or regret, so you can express your truth…
Easily, clearly and kindly.
