Clean slate, please!

Train of Thought · Sep 03, 2020 at 08:36 AM

Wish I could start over with a clean slate. Because right now thanks to therapy I see my own behavioural patterns but am somehow still unable to keep myself from ruining things/relationships.
Feels like I am still sabotaging myself while I try to fix a sinking ship.
How do I get past this state without beating myself up for every mistake I saw coming?
How do I rewrite my story if the pages seem already full?

Have you heard much or read much about Self Compassion? If not, I'd suggest looking into the book by Kristen Neff.

Thanks for the tipp gonna look that one up.
And yeah I am struggling in that department... but I am working on that topic. It's just so hard because my inner snake/demon, whatever you wanna call it, seems to get proven right by myself so often.
Already working on my perception and how... I tend to neglect myself and how this among other factors sabotages myself.
Maybe your book'll open up some new aspects.

Yes, that's a really good book! I'm reading it now. It has a lot of helpful advice. She goes into detail about how you can support yourself and be your own best friend.

Hugs to you! I also think that practising self compassion is a very good idea.

(it can be hard to do, I too make ''a lot''

of mistakes)

My inner ''snake'' has been very mean to me recently.
