Men of Fuel

PLEASE NOTE: While LCPS are closed tomorrow we ARE meeting in the morning.

This week I spent some time reviewing the North Point feelings wheel that was sent out.  While there were many words/feelings I immediately identified with I am not sure I have ever found myself to be cheeky.  As a matter of fact, before spending time looking at that wheel I think my wheel would have looked like the one below.  I bet I am not alone, which I think is part of the reason this series is so needed.

Most of us tend to neglect positive habits or behaviors that will strengthen our emotional health. That’s because it’s a lot easier—at least in the short-term—to pretend everything is okay than to make the effort to establish new, healthy habits. But when we avoid change, we’re not the only ones who suffer. The unhealthy emotions and behaviors we sow now are eventually reaped by the people we love most.

See you in the am

Many of us learned from an early age to hide what we were feeling from other people. We got the message that showing our emotions made us look weak. In time, we became so skilled at hiding what we feel, we even learned to hide our emotions from ourselves. But hiding isn’t a sign of courage or strength.  If we want to grow, we must stop saying, “It’s fine,” and start being honest—with ourselves and others—about what’s going on inside.

Can you imagine your holiday get together if your entire family could take part in this series?  This Friday we can start with at least one member of your family: You.
