STRESSING THE POSITIVE
|
☼ |
Closure is sad for us all,
but it is also very exciting. When one door closes, another opens to new
experiences, new opportunities, and new possibilities. |

As a woman empowered by
awareness of her rights and with her boundaries in place, you are no longer
vulnerable to needy, controlling relationships. |

You can practice letting go
of the old identity of being an abuse victim. It is a thing of the past,
and now you can move on. |

|
☼ |
The temptation is always
present to step back into the habits of the past. Remember that one step
back and two steps forward are to be expected. Do not be angry at yourself
when you step back, but dare to wait expectantly for a sense of direction
from within yourself to take the next steps forward. |

☼ |
Confront, don’t avoid,
temptation. Know yourself and recognize that the temptation of old habits
is always an assault on your real identity. |

☼ |
The path to freedom from the
past is motivation, forgiveness and LOVE OF YOURSELF, clearly defined goals,
decisions made, actions taken, and EMPOWERMENT. |
