“You can’t control how others treat you, but you can control how long you allow it.” That really stuck with me because it shifted the way I approached toxic relationships and situations.
“The urge to binge lasts 7 minutes”.
I struggled with binge eating disorder for 20 years and finally sought help last January. I would get the urge to binge around the same time every night, around 9:30. I bought a little sudoku book from the dollar store and played for 10 minutes every time I got the urge to binge.
Obviously, it took a lot more than that statement for me to begin my recovery, and those 7 minutes were absolutely grueling for the first few months, but I can proudly say I’ve been binge-free since February 1st, 2023.
“unspoken expectations of others are just future resentments”
Edit: This quote suggesting that you stop expecting things from others. It just means that if you do have expectations of others it’s your responsibility to make the other person aware of them.
For example. If you expect your husband to clean the dishes after you’ve cooked dinner but you never voice those expectations to him then eventually you will resent him for not doing it. People need to be taught how we would like them to be our friends. Then it’s up to them if they want to do those things are not.
