Description
Be the person you were meant
to Be tells you how to determine whether your behavior is emotionally "nourishing" or emotionally "toxic" In the following questions (a brief sampling from the book) you can check for yourself whether you are your own worst enemy or your own best friend:
Nourishing: Do I decide what's most important for me?
Toxic: Do I allow others to make decisions for me?
Nourishing: Do I take responsibility for satisfying my own needs?
or
Toxic: Do I try to manipulate other people into doing it for me?
Nourishing: Do I see life as exciting and stimulating? or
Toxic: Do I experience myself struggling to stay alive in a jungle of hostile forces?
Nourishing: Do I accept my mistakes as an inevitable part of learning?
or
Toxic: When I do something that displeases me, do I attack myself with ridicule, disgust or self-punishment?
