Picking Myself Back Up

If there is one thing I learned through the duration of my Narc relationships it is that I have the ability to pick myself back up. When I am feeling low or hard on myself I am now an expert at looking inside and saying kind words to myself. While in the Narc relationships, when I was beaten down, I only had myself to rely on and at times I did a faulty job of being kind to myself. Now that I am Narc free I have a calmer inner voice that speaks words of peace and acceptance. My lows aren't as low because I can self encourage much more quickly, honestly, and effectively.
