I can’t cope

Just checking in on you @Captain24 can see that @Melbcoffeesnob has been by too

So I think Ive done really well. No I know I’ve done really well. @Bow @Melbcoffeesnob

I set myself 10 tasks for the day. I’ve got three to go. But that’s ok. There is always tomorrow.

I’ve washed 2 cars and done the windows on both. My Rav I have washed it, waxed it, cleaned the windows, vacuum, armor all it, put leather protector on the seats and cleaned where I put all the plants. Also I changed the windscreen wipers by myself.

The lancer is washed and windows cleaned. I still have to do all the inside but that’s ok. I can do it tomorrow.

I also put weed and feed on my backyard. I just have to do the front but I ran out so I can just get some more tomorrow. It’s too windy anyway and I don’t want to damage my plants that aren’t dead! Lol

Instead of beating myself up over what I haven’t achieved, I am feeling proud of what I have done.

Go me!!!

Thats a really positive way of looking at it @Captain24

You should be proud of yourself, you have achieved so much today.

Can you reward yourself with something?

My positivity waning @Snowie. a things aren’t perfect.

I can still acknowledge that I have done a lot though. Even if I wasnt

perfect.

I just jumped in my car to go and get more weed and feed and my windscreen and side windows aren’t as clean as it should be and I also forgot the GPS screen. I will have to do them again tomorrow and this time I’ll check if they are perfect. I also forgot the tyres and rims. It’s just not good enough. I feel

like I failed at it.

I have done some of tomorrows list and the wind has died down so I did weed and feed the front lawn.

I actually don’t know how to reward myself. I don’t know that I really deserve it.

Hey @Captain24 ,

Sounds like you are on a roll!

I just had cabonara for dinner... yum! I love pasta.

I kinda am @tyme. I did manage to see some positives in my day and allowed myself to appreciate that. But I do still see way more negatives.

At least I tried after last nights discussion.

I love pasta and carbonara too. I make the carbonara from scratch. I don’t make the pasta though. I tried but I’m to useless at it.

How has your day been?

You seem to be being very hard on yourself @Captain24

What would it look like if you gave yourself some compassion tonight?

Doing something nice for yourself. Even if it is just a cup of tea and sitting down for a rest. Sometimes the smallest things can help.

This is my problem @Snowie I am always too hard on myself. I can recognise it but struggle to let go a little.

All I’ve got is to sit and watch some tv. But because I feel like I failed with my car I can’t distract myself from it. I want to take it out of the garage and fix it but I have too many neighbours outside.

How do you do self compassion? How do you just let yourself be? How do you be kind to yourself? How do you reward yourself? @Snowie @tyme

I just can’t sit still while I’m so restless and agitated and still have so much to do. I know I have done my best today. My feet and back hurt because I’ve don’t too much

So proud of you @Captain24 !

It's great to see a shift 🙂

I'm glad to hear you got so much done.

I don't even know what cabonara is made of. In other words, I didn't/don't cook. My sister made it.

My day was ok. I spoilt myself today. I had 3 pieces of cake. I haven't had cake in ages!

Do you still do sweetened condensed milk?

Thanks @tyme. I told you I would try. It’s only a little shift but it is something.

Hahaha it’s only cream, garlic, eggs, Parmesan cheese and bacon! But it’s soo good.

Im glad your day was ok and you spoilt yourself! I love cake. I allowed myself a piece last Saturday. I did slice myself the corner bit with all the icing though.

As for the condensed milk, I haven’t had it for a while. For reasons I think you understand.

Any plans for tomorrow?
