Refusing to accept that the other person has a right to be wrong has caused endless misery in personal relationships. - Life runs more smoothly when you accept other people’s ‘right to be wrong’ e.g. to do things differently, to hold opinions you don’t like, to value things you don’t value.*
Try: Can you think of any quirks someone else has that you could just accept for today - or any of your own quirks that you’d like other people to accept?
*This is not a recommendation to submit to humiliation or coercive behaviour from someone else.

"The daily bell sets me up for the day. I read it on waking and it helps me to start my day in a positive, kind, compassionate way. I remind myself all the time about what I read. It is a great help in self regulation." KL
