Don’t throw away your boundaries

When you are faced with a positive mood swing:
  • Don’t throw away your boundaries.
  • Don’t assume this lovely person is the real person or the true person. It is a part of them - and the whole person is the average of both the positive and the negative that you have experienced.
  • Don’t forget about the negative experiences - they are as much a part of the reality as the positive.
  • Don’t assume that this positive mood swing will last forever.
