Don't reward bad behavior

I don’t do well with bad confrontations. I
got snookered in after doing so well avoiding
the drama train. Needless to say, I got angry
and went off. Now I feel sick and I’m really
not happy with myself for being so weak-minded
as to not recognize things until I’m knee-deep.

I should have walked away, ignored, or just found
something else to do. I have to keep telling myself
not to beat myself up so bad-I’m only human and will
make mistakes. Part of my problem, is that I feel
the need to defend myself and will do so to the end.
I just have to accept that there are unscrupulous
folks out there that only want to cause harm. If I
can get that to stick in my head and walk away from them
I might actually be able to prevail. It’s not an ego
thing either. I just don’t like abuse. If I stand back
and let the people keep going, others will see them for
what they are. Me trying to defend myself or get a point
across only confuses things.

I will do better tomorrow and try my best to stand tall.

Today I was bad so no star for me. I fell
in my attempt to cut back and quit smoking.
I’m not giving up. I just need to pick myself
up, dust myself off, and start all over again.

Well, no star for me today…I messed up on the coffee
and the smoking. Tomorrow’s another day.

As for a certain someone else…shame shame for hurting
my feelings…no star for you today either.

I give a reward to a friend who massaged my head and
neck to try to relax me. You got a star!

Hehehe…I got this idea from my brother.
He and a friend of mine got into a fight
so he refused to talk to them and said,
“I’m not rewarding bad behavior!” So he
left me in the pit to deal with it…terd…lol.

I can see the point though. If someone has done you
wrong, why reward them? No star for you…heh.
Before anyone asks, yes, I am including myself in
that rule.

HA! I just remembered…When I was in nursery school
we used to get stars >_< The teacher wrote mum and couldn’t
believe that after getting in trouble for talking
during rest time, I went up to her and expected a star roflao.
