This is amazing, one thing I do is i use "that's future me problem, it's doable" when I want to do something that's good for me (example : participating in something that's good for me)
Ofc I complain while I do it later but eventually grateful I did it.
But when it's chores,I do it because future self would be too tired to do it and I know nothing will get done.
It is my past self that I cannot forgive in terms of mistakes. I try to but it doesn't work, I punish my current self for things I did and happened to me in the past. I still haven't figured that out. That's my truth
I can relate to almost everything u said and the way u explained so well ❤️ it's like i was reading my own experience almost
Thank you so much for your comment! I appreciate your honesty and sincerity, I wanted my writing to allow others to feel comfortable sharing their truth ❤️
I see exactly what you mean, and I think the "small stuff" are easy for me to forgive my past self, but I still remind myself all of my greatest mistakes like it's some end-of-a-movie credits.
Whenever I realise that, I tell myself "how about a list of all your accomplishments instead?" And I guess it's making me feel better, it's a matter of practice.
I've learnt that my criticism is a part of me, and tried very hard to change it, until realised it's not going anywhere.
One thing that helps me is a TED talk I listened to, when someone said "treat yourself like someone you love".
