Wednesday, September 24, 2014 You are reading from the book The Language of Letting Go Allowing Ourselves to be Needy We can accept ourselves as people who have needs - the need for comfort, love, understanding, friendship, and healthy touch. We need positive reinforcement, someone to listen to us, someone to give to us. We are not weak for needing these things. These needs make us human and healthy. Getting our needs met - believing we deserve to have them met - makes us happy. There are times, too, when in addition to our regular needs, we become particularly needy. At these times, we need more than we have to give out. That is okay too. We can accept and incorporate our needs, and our needy side, into the whole of us. We can take responsibility for our needs. That doesnt make us weak or deficient. It doesnt mean we are not properly recovering, nor does it mean were being dependent in an unhealthy way. It makes our needs, and our needy side, manageable. Our needs stop controlling us, and we gain control. And, our needs begin to get met. Today, I will accept my needs and my needy side. I believe I deserve to get my needs met, and I will allow that to happen. From The Language of Letting Go by Melody Beattie ©1990, Hazelden Foundation. All rights reserved.
