Settlement; Day227; #13 Irrational Belief–Disapproval

Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are on the way traveling with him, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison.  Truly I say to you, you will not be released until you have paid the last fraction of a penny. Mat 5:25 – 26

13 Irrational Beliefs p.41-43 Transforming The Mind
#13. When people disapprove of you, it means you are wrong or bad.
You may have done something wrong or bad, and this should be taken note of and if necessary, corrected. But preventing this objective viewpoint is the fear of disapproval,
which sparks chronic anxiety in most interpersonal situations. The irrationality is contained in the imagined generalization of one specific fault or unattractive feature, to a total indictment of self. It is a by-product of low self-esteem (based on a lack of self-acceptance) and the belief that if you don’t please others, they will abandon or reject you. You usually run less risk of rejection if you offer others your true unblemished self. They can either take it or leave it, but if they respond to the real you, you don’t have to worry about letting down your guard and being rejected later.

‘”Sometimes people will disapprove your actions/words, accept it but don’t dwell too long.”
