TishaBuv,
I hear you. It reminds me of how the more I focus on the "problem" or worry or anxiety the more I get pulled into it. Mindfulness helps me get perspective on things. This is a person that has spent most of their life doing mindfulness in health settings and MIT so they have an interesting perspective YouTube

To keep myself in check i ask myself many of these questions every day. I got them from Brendan Burchard's High Performing Habits. They really help you focus on your goals and be kinder to yourself

So sorry you had a bad day May. Your bath and early night sound like great coping strategies. I hope your troubles will fade away while you soak in the bath. Wishing you a bright tomorrow!

I've been sick so I'm staying home from work and getting a lot of sleep.

I took things slowly today which I am usually notoriously bad at. But after the gym I spent time stretching and extra time in the shower to relax. I'm trying to be more compassionate with myself when I don't fulfill my "perfect habits" all day like eating perfectly or not hitting snooze, because those things don't determine my worth.

I am working on self forgiveness. It doesn't mean its easy, or that my part in conflict / challenges / problems is ok. But yeah. I also sat in silence and meditated today.

Listened to an interview with Kristen Neff on Sharon Salzberg's podcast Metta Hour. She said that self pity as well as self indulgence is the opposite of self compassion.

I like to reach out sometimes. I’m actually thinking of going somewhere to get therapy. The only thing was that their coverage of Medicare was not on the page. I did not want to call them. I felt insecure enough. Somewhere along the road I will come to understand that other people mean their statements benignly most of the time. There is no backhanded compliment and I can overcome my inner dementors. En lieu of self-compassion, I am giving myself a break to enjoy the moment instead of trying to live in the future. Finding myself, self-discovery, maybe I could find a lifestyle change. Let’s not get too ahead of ourselves here, I would just like to become a better me, not someone who wishes to become a totally different person — that is not anymore. I cannot live in the shadow of who I wish I could be.
