As Monday looms I have been trying to work out how to move forward. Today I started collecting things for my coping box (thanks @Crazy_Bug_Lady). I bought some of my fave chocolates to put in and have been gathering bits and pieces. Happy for any other suggestions as to what to put in. I think I may need one for the car too. I'm thinking I may copy some pieces of wisdom from this forum and print them up to add in.
I'm hoping that I get to write more on this thread than the struggle thread as time goes by. Please feel free to add how you are moving forward as well. 💜😊
Thanks "Teej ....💗 .,,,, that helps to clarify the difference between shame and guilt really well ....
My D3 does come out with negative self-talk at times and I call on it .... turning the shame to guilt, according to that definition, to objectify it and remove it from becoming personal ....
"I often turn up late" rather than "I'm a person who is always late ...."
A pattern of lateness can be changed by taking action to create a different pattern .... a person who "owns" a pattern of lateness needs to be convince that it's not inherent and can be relinquished for a better pattern ....
Work in progress .... 💜🌷
Glad you have had enough wins today to be settled in tonight .... enjoy that electric blanke !! I enjoyed hearing about the Indian food in a reataurant .... 😊
Sleep well .... 💤💕

Re: Moving forward
@Faith-and-Hope Just lastly you were right. My old psychologist explained that guilt can turn into shame and vice versa. I hope your day has been good. Sleep well too💜😊💐💤😴

Oh bugger on the no sleep. Maybe go for a walk to knock yourself out? I love Moccha's but it aids my sweet tooth! I mix up what I do with coffee. 😊
