When do we say enough is enough.
How do we find time for our self when one get stressed out,is there a breaking point.Do anyone notice when a person is unhappy.Are do they really care.how do one cope with selfish people.somebody please give me some answers.I use to be one of them people who always did eye for an eye.but god said vegenace is mine said the lord.I get tired of being lied to.and you know this person is lying.I laugh it off but it still bothers me.I need a good friend to talk too.
Enough is enough when it takes more out of you to hang onto things (anger, resentment, guilt, hurt) than it does to let them go. All it takes is a change in perspective. You cannot change anything about anyone but yourself and how you react or don't react to other people. Eleanor Roosevelt said no one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
Forgiveness is a gift for-giving yourself. Let go of your need to be right and shift the focus to DOING right. Read A Return to Love by Marianne Williamson; read Your Truth is Calling by Scott Abel.
And amen to the exercise, meditation, prayer, etc; whatever it takes to quiet your mind, stop your racing thoughts, and just BE, even for a few minutes a day. Part of enjoying the blessings you have is consciously expressing your gratitude, daily. What you focus on expands. Focus on all that is RIGHT and GOOD, and give thanks for it (doesn't matter whether you're giving thanks to God, Buddha, or the spaghetti monster... just adopt an attitude of gratitude).

these are hard but, sadly, common issues.
first create a space and place where you can be quiet, breathe, write, create through art, rest your mind and your body.
Regularly use physical exercise as a way to help defuse stress.
I am glad that you are not engaging in Battle as that is a debilitating choice to personal energy and soul.
However, yes stand up for yourself, but choose how and when.
See if there is some kind of group around - who meets for coffee, through an exercise class, an art or writing class.
Take time to truly see and acknowledge what is good and beautiful all around you - the sun coming up, a garden, children playing, good music, whatever makes you feel warm and strong and happy. When you can draw on what is outside of yourself as a way to connect to Joy then it helps move that through and into your own soul.
I wish you well and stay in touch as you wish
Kate
nice Crystol! and Gandhi said ;'Nobody can hurt me without my permission.' If we could all remember that how much more peaceful out hearts and the world. it also entails a broader more expansive understanding of Hurt. It beyond our feelings and reaches to our Soul and Heart. We are more empowered when we Know and Live this... and then our feelings are also safe from hurt.
