Hi guys morning tuition done feeling good and productive. Let's see if we can beat my previous streak
Don't be too hard on yourself, we've all been there. Now it's about how you pick yourself up and go about every day following your relapse. Will you go back to your bad habits out of self-pity, or will you became enraged and push forward? The choice is always ours. This is just a temporary setback on your grand journey. Just remember to put one foot after the other and take it slow.
Thank you, really. I tend to be hard on myself, because that attitude is what had made me get rid of other bad habits, being kind towards myself feels like patting myself in the back, and yeah....I'm indeed enraged... is not self-pity rather self-hatred...people tell me is not a healthy attitude, but frankly, I don't know any other that had ever worked for me. One step at a time, the key is moving forward indeed as far I can tell....and bashing myself at each mistake, failure should not be tolerated, excuses should not be tolerated, weakness should not be tolerated. In a tough-love like attitude towards oneself to impulse oneself towards progress an actual change, but that's the way I see it, and what have worked for me before, is not meant to work for everybody.
Here's what I suggest instead of bashing yourself because I also have this habit. When you impose self-hate your mind starts to think that's what you are. "I have no self-control" "I am pathetic" Instead I suggest you observe your mistakes and realize that you are better and resolve to push forward. "I am a warrior who will defeat PMO" "I will get back up and keep fighting, come hell or high water"
To be fair I'm aware of how the mind works in that regard, I expose it that way when talking to others, but my inner dialogue is more like: You could have stopped this, is this the best you can get? You know you are better than this Stop making excuses, stop mind-joggling and be tough on your resolutions Is this who you are? Stop this, and start being who you are meant to be, failure is not an option Discipline will give you the freedom you seek, but take it seriously The root of it is a sentiment of self-hatred, the attitude is some sort of tough-love, I cannot allow to be gentle with myself, but I also don't try to put me down.
