@themissingself: I MADE A MISTAKE 😅 | Back with another chairapy session. I used to spend so much time ruminating on the mistakes I was always going to make, and mourning the loss of a future that I never had in the first place. I used to punish myself with shame and guilt, assuming they were the base components of self-improvement...but I was wrong. I didn’t need them to clean up my mess, to want to be better, and to take responsibility for my mistakes. The error itself was both my punishment and my motivation. In fact, those self-destructive emotions only de-mobilized me, and left me trapped with the energy for change rattling around in my brain, running circles of self-hatred instead of forward towards self-improvement. I know it’s hard to believe, but you don’t have suffer when you make a mistake...you don’t have to translate that opportunity for change as a self-defining moment. You are not your mistakes. You are not your successes. You are just learning. |#mistakes #fails #thoughts #lettinggo #SelfImprovement #motivation #themissingself #philosophy #fyp #foryoupage
