Being the
right person is much more important than finding or being with the right
person.
Your
feelings are often the result of your thoughts.
It is your appraisal or evaluation of a situation that causes a
particular feeling and not always the situation itself.
If
you want to be mentally healthy (and who doesn’t?) you can learn to shape your
reality in a direction that builds your self-esteem, gives you a belief in your
personal efficacy, and helps you have an optimistic view of your future.
Appropriate
conflict management usually requires taking ownership and being able to
apologize when you have been wrong, hurtful, or out of line.
[Self-efficacy] means you believe you are in charge of most of the outcomes of your life and
have a sense of personal power to reach your goals and overcome obstacles.
