I made a breakthrough on this goal during the week. I stood up to someone here o DS who was very critical of me even though we had never met or contacted one another before. His remarks to me were un-called for, and I blocked off further contact with this "jackass" so that I would not be bothered by him again. As a way of rewarding myself for "learning to like myself," I bought a couple of things that I had wanted but did not gotten until now. I increased the number of days I've been kind of myself from 34 to 41, and I am increasing the amount of progress made in this goal from five to 10%.
