WEEKLY RECAP February 15th - 21st, 2020 |
|
|
Highlights from the Blog and Facebook |
|
|
| | Saturday, February 15th (AM) Do not beat yourself up for lacking “willpower.”Think instead about the practical knowledge, skills, and tools you need to get past this challenge. | | |
|
| | Saturday, February 15th (PM) You are the coach who is always available to you. You are the therapist who is on call 24/7 for you. You are the cheerleader who is always on hand for you. | | |
|
|
| | Sunday, February 16th (AM) A situation that sucks is not improved by us harming or sabotaging ourselves. We are constantly faced with the dilemma of how to handle difficult, uncomfortable, or painful situations. | | |
|
| | Sunday, February 16th (PM) No matter how long your latest battle with impulsivity or emotional pain has lasted…you can come back to center. You can refocus on who you are and what you’re all about . . . Just come back to center. | | |
|
|
| | Monday, February 17th (AM) We carry the voices from the past with us. We carry those voices with us even when we’re not aware of it. Parents, teachers, peers. Even movies and media. All these echoes. | | |
|
| | Monday, February 17th (PM) It sucks that the people who were supposed to hold boundaries, who were supposed to wield their authority over us responsibly, who were supposed to to be the adults we needed… | | |
|
|
| | Tuesday, February 18th (Blog) "SELF COMPASSION IS THE KEY TO SELF DISCIPLINE." I strongly believe that in order to develop real self-discipline, self-discipline that is useful to us in the everyday world, we need to behave toward ourself with radical, unrelenting self-compassion. | | |
|
| | Tuesday, February 18th (PM) We can do things to make it more likely we’ll feel certain things and less likely we’ll feel other things in the future, but emotional reactions don’t represent conscious, reasoned choices. Lots and lots of people beat themselves and others over the head with how “appropriate” or not certain emotional reactions are. | | |
|
|
| | Wednesday, February 19th (AM) Sometimes when we’ve been hurt, we respond to it by trying to become completely, utterly self-sufficient. | | |
|
| | Wednesday, February 19th (PM) We constantly need to decide what skill or tool works best for us, right now, in the situation we are currently facing. | | |
|
|
| | Thursday, February 20th (Blog): “YOUR PAST IS NOT YOUR FUTURE. FULL STOP.” The past is data. No more; no less.The past cannot predict the future . . . | | |
|
| | Thursday, February 20th (PM) The comparisons you choose to draw between yourself and others can either be a tool to motivate and focus you— or a weight slowing your progress to a crawl. | | |
|
|
| | Friday, February 21st (AM) Pay attention to what you’re focusing on. Pay attention to what you may be magnifying. Don’t fall into the trap of perceiving everything as black or white. Your pain IS valid— but you ARE more than your pain. | | |
|
| | Friday, February 21st (PM) We think we “should” be able to do certain things, or do them perfectly, or do them easily. Our entire lives can get swallowed up in “should” statements if we let them. | | |
