The intermittent records of a slightly socially retarded, trigger happy, newbie registered nurse attempting to defy mediocrity.. and gravity, of course.

core beliefs .
something i learnt in grup therapy at my mental health placements .core beliefs are central - what we believe about ourselves and about the world around us .
scenario: getting told of by your boss .
example of core belief: "I'm a failure" - automatically you result to self-blame, self-critical, angry, self concious. your boss told you off because you did something wrong.
example of core belief: "I'm a competent person" - automatically "what's wrong with him? he must be having a bad day" won't take is personally, as you know you are competent and did not do anything wrong.
where do core beliefs come from? they are re-inforced over time.
upbringing, childhood, parental styles/expectations, siblings, friends, the response of significant people in our lives . your experiences across your life.
these core beliefs can change over time, we can change them.
just because you have these experiences, doesn't meant that those core beliefs are true.
sometimes to identify these core beliefs is too confronting.
i am my own person and that is good enough. i do not need to be compared to others to determine my own self worth.

i am narcissistic
the about me section that can never truly fully describe a person.
it usually emcompasses the favourite movies, favourite music and all that jazz, but really when you think about it these aspect of me change every few years and can never really define me, as me.
but here are the basics anyway:
1. i'm left handed but drive with my right hand.
2. i like milk, but only safeway light milk.
3. i have a dog named phileo and he's white with a pink nose.
4. i am, after three crazy years, a registered nurse, division one.
5. i wish my life was a musical and i often burst into song and love it when people around me join in too
6. i'm sometimes just a mess but above it all, my jesus is always there to come to the rescue. he's pretty swell :)
