2) decide what to change it to;
3) change as much as you can whenever you can;
4) praise yourself for every successful effort to change.

this will get you to a place that is not 'here/now'.
it requires awareness, persistance, and a certain amount of creativity.

best wishes~
Thanks.

I'm already separated from the person I hurt, and I know I need to pay back what I actually stole (we discussed it).

The problem is my own conscience, and making up for just being a terrible person. I can't stop feeling like I should be punished somehow.
