Respect is earned NOT given

[onlinecounsellingcollege]

When you Feel Anxious …

1. Relax your breathing. Take deliberate slow, deep breaths, and feel the tension begin to subside.

2. Clear your mind of disturbing thoughts. Remind yourself of all your strengths, of those occasions when you’ve coped in the past, and of things you still have to look forward to.

3. Shut off the critical parent in your head. We all have weaknesses and make mistakes. Don’t abandon, attack, or reject yourself. You need to support, and to nurture, yourself.

4. Practice self-care. Temporarily step back from the stressful situation. Maybe listen to some music, or message a friend, or play with your pet, or go for a walk.

5. Respond – don’t react. You don’t have to do anything right now. Take a moment to take control of your feelings and your thoughts. Then assess the situations, and think through different options.

6. You may have to put up protective boundaries. We often don’t have the energy to give at these times – so withdraw from people who would drain your energy.

7. A burden shared is a burden halved. Share how you feel with someone who cares. It’s good to ask for help when you’re worried or afraid.

I think it hurts when a singer dies because at one point something they said gave you life.  Some line they sung understood the deepest part of you. And you worry if anyone will be able to do that again.

White terrorism is a real threat. White terror is invisible to conservatives. That is our nation’s legacy.

Oh my poor, beloved, delusional Black people.  The person responsible for burning down the three Black churches in St Landry Parish, Louisiana is the white 21 year of son of THE LOCAL SHERIFF! One of the Black pastors was interviewed on MSNBC and asked for his thought.  As we did when white people raped us, hung us, and burned us alive, he talked about forgiving this devil who clearly hates us.  It pains me that generations of Black folk never did and still don’t understand that whites gave us their religion to keep us dormant, submissive and subservient to them.  As whites would hang us from trees, they told us to forgive them. As whites burned our churches, they told us to forgive them. As whites brainwashed us into believing that our enslavement was “god’s” will, we were taught to forgive them. As whites told us that we were less than them, they taught us to believe them. Do Jews forgive nazis for the Holocaust? No, they teach their descendants, “never forget”.

“In the light of what Black women often willingly sacrifice for our children and our men, this is a much-needed exhortation, no matter what illegitimate use the white media makes of it. This call for self-value and self-love is quite different from narcissism. Narcissism comes not out of self-love but out of self-hatred.”

Amen!  This fool hopefully doesn’t know how John “papa” Slatterly denigrated President Obama. He even threatened any employee who supported President Obama. O’Neal’s whole shtick seems to be grinning and cooning for white people’s enjoyment.
