I was lucky enough to grow up with an older brother and while he was really never hurtful or mean he loved the "why are you hitting yourself" game. That classic really wasn't about pain. The point was annoyance and control. My brother and I now live quite far away from each other but I think I play the "hitting myself" game pretty well without him around. Over and over, I can annoy myself and time and time again I can lose sight of what I can and can't control.
So, I gotta wake up and smell the coffee!
I'm entering the NO Annoyance Zone.
Step One - Pay attention to my fist and if it starts heading towards me I'm going to reroute it and move forward.
