relax and be yourself



1 . You can concentrate on the other person and what they are saying to you .
2. You can be physically relaxed because you are living in the moment and just being aware of what's happening.
3. The other person sees a you that's likely to last so they can see if you are their cup of tea .
4. If you are loved then you know you are loved for who you are rather than an image you've presented.
5. It effortless. It's actually beautiful to just relax and let it all hang out and just say what you are comfortable to say.
6. It's being genuine. The real you . People can come to appreciate that and show you the real them . They can't know you if you hide yourself.
7. It's sustainable. If you do pretend to be someone, sooner or later the real you will show through.
8. It's comforting . You'll know that if someone didn't want you then that's just the way it is . It's not like you used an approach they didn't like . You showed them who you are and you weren't for them.
9. It's kind . If you relax then those around you can pick up on that and relax with you too.

When I was paranoid I felt there were attempts to help me and hurt me that weren't there at all .
