Adulting sounds like something we are going to get dressed up for and go do. Nothing like a night on the town adulting. Right? The thing is, adulting is something and someone we become and be, not something that we get up and go do.
The concluding segment on how to generate real, solid self-esteem that you can lean on. It can change your life.
An important aspect of self-care is about knowing and learning to manage your default reaction setting. We all set a pattern fairly early in life in how we react to the unexpected, both good and bad unexpected. These patterns become default settings.

When our fears come up, they tend to cluster in certain groupings. We all have patterns. That is normal, expected and human. So, it is always helpful, when some hobgoblin is trying to push your buttons, to know which button is being pushed and then take their finger off your button.
Contrary to the most earnest human desire for the magic bullet, the gimmick that will fix it all instantaneously, there is no such thing. The only way out is through. We are here to learn. Life and learning is a process. We must do the long, slow steady work it takes in any area of life to see and produce substantive results.

Feelings are messy. Feelings are problematic. Right? Where do they come from? What are you supposed to do with them? Why do you need them?

How do you know if you can trust someone? Most of us think of it as a leap of faith. Trust is actually something way more practical.
