Yea, but being soft on myself also doesn't work, and I just lose my patience with myself real quick because it's annoying that I never get anything done.
if neither works then you might as well be kind to yourself, ne
I Can't... :(
it's hard work! I struggle with it myself, everyday
here's a secret, though: you're good, actually, even if you don't Do Thing. I will believe this for you, even if your brain won't
thanks :(
It's might sound kinda silly but one thing that helped me be kinder to myself was thinking about how I treat others
I'd never treat people I cared about how I was treating myself so trying to be as kind to myself as I was to others was the goal I set for myself
And overtime it became easier and easier to be kind to myself about my short comings
Yeah I may fail to do all the tasks I set out for myself today but I did accomplish somethings
It may even be little things some days and other days it's not a whole lot at all
But the kinder I was to myself the more I found myself able to do the things I set out to do
I still stumble some days but that's okay
Thanks for these words. This is a smart point of view.
I only wish I had learned it earlier in life
That would have helped me a lot over the years
So the next best thing is to help other people with it so that they don't have to suffer as long as I did
That reminds me of Rossmanns last video where he tells the story of how he discovered that he himself has also worth, especially compared to brokem apple computers.
I think the trick is to be kind to yourself but to try different methods to solve your issues until you find one that fits. For example, a lot of people are helped by just having a schedule beforehand, so that's generally one of the first things that get recommended.
Been trying it for thirty years, maybe another thirty will do the trick! Persistence is key!

Someone please sedate me...
SO much this! Thank you so much friend.
I'm still alive so it's obviously not working.
