The Day So Far / The need for Self Compassion

The Day So Far / The need for Self Compassion

Hello Friends Its Lost Angel , Currently today I have Felt Unmotivated ,Feel Like Staying in bed alot Even Though I had Online Study to do So even though it was a study day I stayed in my Comfort Zone AKA my bed and studied on Computer from There ,I Am a Bit Behind with Online Study Tasks But Trying best to keep up, the weather is cold today not much sunshine so that also makes me feel like staying in bed ,I had a shower in the middle of today so that helped a bit ,however i still feel most comftable in bed with the covers on and the heater on ,I am actually suposed to be completeing some study at the minute but thought Id write out here how Im Going ,another thing or change is that for at least the last three nights Ive tossed and turned in the night and found it really hard to fall asleep and when i do manage to sleep a little through the night its very light sleep than compared to usual ,im not sure whats causing this as currently no major stress other than being behind on study and possibly feeling a little isolated ,having not spoken much to family in the last week or so,as for my romantic relationship things are going well there, also today when i have been a little social ive found myself overly apologising when theres really no need to apologise anyway thats where things are at ,just the real need to be self soothing ,comfort zone ect also have mahaged to at least pay a few bills so thats something achieved for the day strange that sometimes you can have things you need to do but just have a lack of willpoewer to do those things ,also feel like ordering pizza for dinner tonight ,ok ill try to to study now get something done maybe then the pizza dinner can be a reward ,but i still feel the need to stay in bed

Hey @LostAngel

Glad you are trying to keep up with your studies.

When I was a student in winter in the mid 1980s I sat in bed as it was the warmest place to be. I would not have gotten thru otherwise. Sometimes our bodies lead us astray, but sometimes they are smart and know what we need. The challenge is figuring it all out.

We have had a cold snap recently.

I had a nap to warm up and am slowly adjusting to the shift in weather, got my throw rug on the couch to cover my knees.

Yep Self compassion is often necessary. It can also help us understand others...

cheers
