@MDT Oh that is such a good one.

Listening to yourself, because you know yourself better than anyone.

One of my biggest regrets is not listening to my inner voice and not putting myself first.

Having said that. My poor decision making has also afforded me some amazing experiences.

Maybe I’ll peak late in life? 🤷🏼‍♀️

I love this question @Oaktree and I've had to take some time to reflect on it!

I think the thing I'm most proud of is actually inspired by your post @MDT - because when I thought about it, learning to listen to myself has been a fundamental part of my recovery. For example, when I was stuck in the depths of my self-loathing, and so shackled by my people-pleasing that at one point, I was going to move in with the person I had a crush on (who did not return the feelings) to be there with her as she dealt with an unplanned pregnancy. Like... I was so unaware of my own needs and desires I was gonna co-parent a child with someone who didn't love me back?!

Learning to listen to myself, to recognise my needs and figure out the lines and limits of my boundaries, has been absolutely fundamental. So, I am incredibly proud of myself for all the work I've put in to be able to listen to my needs, which has helped in healing those broken parts of me!

Thanks for this amazing opportunity to reflect 💜

Hugs my @Jynx 🥰

Thank you for sharing part of your story ❤️

I think 🤔 one of my proudest moment was when I became a pre school teacher aid and a private child care provider against all the negativity of most people except for my very supportive mum ❤️

Heck yes @Shaz51 that is a superb accomplishment!! Becoming a teacher is an accomplishment in itself, but to also shed the shackles of other people's doubt along the way is a great feat indeed 😍😁

I love your answers @Jynx @MDT

It makes me think about my own boundaries. I tend to have co-dependent relationships. I need to not be so needy
