Dear Shirley, Earth Angel:

I like your motto very much: ” to be yourself and stand for what you believe in, even if you feel self-conscious”!

Noticing the inner bully, hearing it speak as often as you do is a great accomplishment. Most people hear its voice but they don’t know it is the inner bully. Not knowing, they have no chance to hush it over time. I still hear my inner bully every day. I notice how often it does talk to me, and so I make progress. I correct the thinking expressed by the inner bully or I dismiss what it said right away.

It takes a whole lot of patience; what seems to me like endless patience. Progress is very noticeable within months, but from one day to the next you may not feel there is any progress. It is a snail type progress, very slow.
