After I step on the scale, I will thank God for the new day.

After I start my morning coffee, I will tidy one item in the living room

After I wash my face in the morning, I will put sunscreen on it.

After I start the dishwasher, I will take my vitamin.

After I walk out the door for the day, I will say Today will be a great day.

After I enter the house at the end of the day, I will kiss my wife for 10 seconds.

After I get home, I will set out my workout clothes.

After I put my kids in bed, I will tell them goodnight, I love you, sweet dreams.

After I take off my clothes at night, I will put them away.

After my head hits the pillow, I will think of something I am grateful for.

The book "Heal Your Wounds and Find Your True Self" by Lisa Bourbeau identifies five psychological
wounds that can affect individuals and hinder their ability to live a fulfilling life. These wounds are:

Abandonment: This wound can occur when an individual feels rejected or deserted by someone
important to them, such as a parent, partner, or friend. It can lead to feelings of insecurity, mistrust,
and fear of being alone.

Humiliation: This wound can occur when an individual feels embarrassed, ashamed, or degraded. It
can lead to feelings of worthlessness, inferiority, and a lack of self-esteem.

Betrayal: This wound can occur when an individual feels betrayed by someone they trusted, such as a
friend, partner, or family member. It can lead to feelings of anger, resentment, and a lack of trust in
others.

Injustice: This wound can occur when an individual feels that they have been treated unfairly or
unjustly. It can lead to feelings of anger, frustration, and a sense of powerlessness.

Rejection: This wound can occur when an individual feels rejected or not accepted by others. It can
lead to feelings of insecurity, self-doubt, and a lack of self-worth.

Abandonment: An example of this wound could be a child whose parents divorce and they feel
rejected by one of them. This could lead to feelings of insecurity, mistrust, and fear of abandonment
in future relationships.

Humiliation: An example of this wound could be a person who is bullied in school and made to feel
embarrassed and degraded by their peers. This could lead to feelings of worthlessness, inferiority,
and a lack of self-esteem that may affect their future interactions.

Betrayal: An example of this wound could be a person whose spouse cheats on them. This could lead
to feelings of anger, resentment, and a lack of trust in others, which may affect future relationships.
Injustice: An example of this wound could be a person who is wrongly accused of a crime and treated
unfairly by the justice system. This could lead to feelings of anger, frustration, and a sense of
powerlessness that may affect their perception of the world and their place in it.

Rejection: An example of this wound could be a person who is not accepted by their peers because
they are different in some way. This could lead to feelings of insecurity, self-doubt, and a lack of self-
worth that may affect their future interactions and relationships.

Expand on humiliation wound and its masochism mask?

Humiliation is a psychological wound that can occur when an individual feels embarrassed, ashamed,
or degraded. It can be caused by a variety of situations, such as bullying, public embarrassment, or
being treated disrespectfully. The wound can lead to feelings of worthlessness, inferiority, and a lack
of self-esteem, which can affect an individual's behavior and relationships.

Humiliation wound can manifest in the form of a "masochism mask", which refers to the tendency of
individuals to seek out or tolerate further humiliation as a way of coping with their emotional pain.
This can manifest in a variety of ways, such as:

Self-deprecating behavior: Individuals may make negative comments about themselves or engage in
self-destructive behaviors in order to feel in control of the situation and avoid the feelings of
helplessness that come with feeling humiliated.

Seeking out negative attention: Individuals may actively seek out negative attention or criticism as a
way of feeling in control of the situation and avoiding the feelings of helplessness that come with
feeling humiliated.

Tolerating mistreatment: Individuals may tolerate mistreatment or disrespect in their relationships as


a way of coping with their feelings of worthlessness and inferiority.

Self-sabotage: Individuals may engage in self-sabotaging behaviors, such as procrastinating or not


putting in effort in their work or personal life, which can lead to failure and further feelings of
worthlessness.

It's important to note that the Masochism mask is not a diagnosis and it's a behavior pattern that
some people may adopt as a coping mechanism for their emotional pain, but it's not healthy and it
can lead to further emotional pain. Seeking professional help and addressing the underlying
emotional pain can help individuals to heal the wound and move towards a more fulfilling life.
