WEEKLY RECAP February 22nd - 28th, 2020 |
|
|
Highlights from the Blog and Facebook |
|
|
| | Saturday, February 22nd (AM) Punishment doesn’t encourage good behavior. it only encourages you to do whatever you need to do to avoid more punishment— which is not the same thing. | | |
|
| | Saturday, February 22nd (PM) Make sure you check in with yourself— every day, multiple times a day. A lot of the time we don’t even realize we’re struggling until we’re deep into the struggle. | | |
|
|
| | Sunday, February 23rd (AM) Go easy on yourself when you feel lousy. You’re having a human experience. It’ll pass. And you have tools and skills to cope with negative feelings. | | |
|
| | Sunday, February 23rd (PM) Feel what you feel, express what you need to. Don’t expect yourself to be superhuman, don’t expect yourself to handle your feelings perfectly. Then, when you’re able: just do the next right thing. | | |
|
|
| | Monday, February 24th (AM) Relationships need to do more than drain us. They need to feed us as well— and not in a codependent way. | | |
|
| | Monday, February 24th (PM) Be compassionate with yourself. Give yourself what you need when you need it. And remember: you are worth the struggle. | | |
|
|
| | Tuesday, February 25th (Blog) "YOU LIKE WHAT YOU LIKE. AND THAT'S COOL." When the people around us give us a hard time for who we are and what we like, especially over a long period of time, doubt and shame start to creep into our minds. | | |
|
| | Tuesday, February 25th (PM) Who told you you have to master everything you try? You don’t, you know. You can dabble. You can drift. Not everything has to be a magnificent obsession. You can do some things you’ll never be great at for fun or for the experience. | | |
|
|
| | Wednesday, February 26th (AM) You can plan your day down to the minute— but I guarantee, stupid stuff’s going to creep in and make your life needlessly complicated . . . | | |
|
| | Wednesday, February 26th (PM) Do NOT fall into the trap of feeling guilty because you can’t get to the point of being “grateful” for your challenges. | | |
|
|
| | Thursday, February 27th (Blog): “YOU CAN'T SOOTHE ANYONE ELSE UNTIL YOU LEARN TO SOOTHE YOURSELF.” Emotional regulation doesn’t have to do with intelligence, it doesn’t have to do with maturity, it doesn’t have to do with morality or character. | | |
|
| | Thursday, February 27th (PM) Your comfort zone may not be where you want to live all the time if you want to grow— but returning to it to rest and recenter can be useful. The key is to use your comfort zone, instead of letting it use you. | | |
|
|
| | Friday, February 28th (AM) Lots and lots of people blow lots and lots of energy denying and disowning who they are, so as not to make the people around them angry or uncomfortable. | | |
|
| | Friday, February 28th (PM) Yes, you may be struggling right now, and yes, you may need to tweak some of the skills you have now as you learn and practice new ones. But you are not a “failure.” | | |
