I am bitterly passive aggressive. My family never fought so I ignore, punish, shame people when they wrong me. I am getting better at attacking conflict head on, but I have had to undo some petty things before the other person noticed.

I’m starting to understand what good timing looks like. I’m starting to choose my words in a manner that addresses the problem without placing blame. I am also using the age old “What would Jesus do?” To get me through moments of utter rage and pettiness.

I also try to be patient with people as they go through whatever it is that they are experiencing.

I’m still learning the best way to deal with people because we are all flawed. I think as I better understand who I am, I am able to empathize and focus my attention on solving a problem and not ridding myself of a person.

Today, I learned the importance of being patient and good ways to manage conflict.

As for weight loss goals… I exercised a whole lot today. My entire body hurts. I did my two work outs and I went to the pool. I don’t have any rest days planned but I feel like I want to rethink that.
