WEEKLY RECAP February 1st - 7th, 2020 |
|
|
Highlights from the Blog and Facebook |
|
|
| | Saturday, February 1st (AM) Perfectionists never achieve perfection. But they do manage to feel depressed and anxious, and stress everyone around them out. | | |
|
| | Saturday, February 1st (PM) Abusing and berating yourself does not help somebody else you’ve hurt. It doesn’t help yourself overcome anything. | | |
|
|
| | Sunday, February 2nd (AM) Recovery is about more than getting out of pain. It’s about remembering and reclaiming who you are. | | |
|
| | Sunday, February 2nd (PM) You don’t need to be or become superhuman. You really don’t. You don’t need to develop willpower of steel. | | |
|
|
| | Monday, February 3rd (AM) Every day we spend denying the necessity to develop and use our tools and skills is another day we lose out on living a life we like and find meaning in. | | |
|
| | Monday, February 3rd (PM) Our thoughts and our feelings are powerful, and can be overwhelming— but the more often we notice that we are not what we think and not what we feel, the better chance we have . . . | | |
|
|
| | Tuesday, February 4th (Blog) "LET'S TALK ABOUT SELF-ESTEEM AND NARCISSISM." Our self-esteem is sensitive to contradiction. It’s sensitive to whether we’re walking our talk— or whether we’re talking a good game, but not following through. | | |
|
| | Tuesday, February 4th (PM) We’re often told that we need to exist in this present moment, right here, right now, all the time— but that’s kind of an oversimplification. The fact is, we’re wired to remember the past and imagine the future. It’s useful to remember things that worked for us in the past— or didn’t work for us | | |
|
|
| | Wednesday, February 5th (AM) Most peoples’ challenges just don’t exist on that profound level of ultimate life meaning— they exist in how to manage that difficult person at work, how to handle it when their car breaks down, how to get up and go to work every day without hating life. | | |
|
| | Wednesday, February 5th (PM) We need to figure out ways to not freak out when we don’t get what we want. When we have to wait. We need to figure out how to tolerate discomfort, pain, and frustration. And nobody else can teach us exactly how to do it . . . We have to figure it out. We have to experiment. | | |
|
|
| | Thursday, February 6th (Blog): We need to understand what we're changing. Like most skills, the key here is just easing up on the throttle a little bit. Not reacting out of impulse or panic. Centering, observing, thinking. | | |
|
| | Thursday, February 6th (PM) When we’ve been blamed for things our entire lives, it’s easy to fall into the trap of feeling like we are responsible for everything that either goes wrong around us, or every bad feeling or experience we have. | | |
|
|
| | Friday, February 7th (Blog) THREE ON-THE-GROUND SKILLS FOR MANAGING FLASHBACKS. Flashbacks are entirely about our brain getting worried that Here and Now is actually Back There and Back Then . . . | | |
|
| | Friday, February 7th (PM) There are absolutely times when the pushback we receive has nothing to do with the quality of the decision we’ve made— but rather, someone else’s desire to control us by inducing doubt and shame. | | |
