Overcoming Hurtful Words by Janell Rardon is a book all of us can learn from. Janell reveals that the book came from her own needs. Specifically, she called the situation that trigger the book a spiritual tipping point. Janell challenged herself as to what was she doing that allowed people to speak to her that way. As a result, she realized that she was a people pleasure. Janell developed 9 practices that will take you from a heart rift, through a heart shift, to a heart lift.
One of the practices she mentioned that I found very helpful was to listening to other people’s stories. Take 15 minutes at the end of the day to think about all the stories you heard during the day and how they impact your story.
Janell went back to school to get her masters at the age of 50. As a result, she started counseling and realized that the woman’s heart is the one that can transform the family.
Need to be committed to practices these three things.
- A Healthy sense of self
- Healthy behavior patterns
- Healthy communication skills
Choose healthy over unhealthy. And she is not talking about food.
What a closing from Janell! You have value, worth and dignity. Believe it.
