When someone mistreats you, it is so important to not allow it to measure your value.
Whether it is a look, or a few cruel words said in a moment of heat, or from many years of abusive words, it is difficult to deal with.
Do not allow the words in, sweet friend. Please do not allow the mistreatment to go any further than the person who said it. Let them keep the poison. Say kind words to yourself. Allow yourself to heal for as long as it takes, then make a promise to yourself that you will do whatever it takes to protect yourself....always with love, strength, and bravery.
You are worth protecting. Your heart is worth protecting. Your soul is worth protecting. You have the right to protect yourself.
This is an excerpt from a Brave Girls Club daily email.
Why do I post this, why is Brave Girls Club very important to me? I have taken to heart many of these messages. I have made the promise to myself that I will do whatever it takes to protect myself, with Love, Strength, and Bravery!
