Journey to Life Day 41 - Being to Hard on Yourself

 

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to become the character of being to hard on myself

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to in this character be so hard myself and believe that what i am doing is not enough or has no effect in this reality

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to only take note of my failures and mistakes and to allow it to consume me bring me down

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to become overwhelmed by my thoughts and backchat of me being a failure and to in this overwhelmingness  feel the need to simply give up

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to believe that the backchat is real and to listen to it as if it is real

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to believe that because things move slowly that i am doing something wrong or i am not good enough

I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to see all i have accomplished until now and how much i have changed and to give myself some credit - but to instead believe that it is not good enough

I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realize that this will take time and that there is no quick solution

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to keep looking at the big task ahead and the big picture and to feel hopeless in it all - instead of staying in the moment and to focus on one point at a time

I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to see that being hard on myself is a self created character that is not real and I have no need for it

I commit myself to stop and give up the character of me being hard on myself

I commit myself to stop the belief that what I do is not good enough

I commit myself to stop take note of all my failures and mistakes, but to let go of them and to move on and to learn from so that I do not make the same mistakes

I commit myself to stop becoming overwhelmed by mu thoughts and backchat but to instead stop thoughts and backchat so that it doesn't accumulate and cause problems

I commit myself to realize that this will take time and that there are no shortcuts and that because its taking so long doesn't mean that i am doing something wrong

I commit myself to see all that i have done thus far and to take note of that to see that i am changing and getting somewhere

I commit myself to stay in the moment and focus on one point at a time so that i don't  become overwhelmed

I commit myself to realize that this character of me being hard on myself is not real and not necessary

Journey To Life Day 31 - Being Overwhelmed

 

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to feel overwhelmed - that everything is too much for me handle

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that the world is a gainst me and out to get me when everything seems to go wrong

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to blame myself when things go wrong seeing myself as a failure and not being good enough and experiencing unworthiness when things get tough

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to experience hopelessness when i believe that I cannot face what is here and to get lost in the magnitude of the problem we are facing here on earth before we can make this world a world worth living in

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that I don't have the power to face this life, but to give in to fear and to allow fear to direct me - not realising that I haven't given even myself a chance  to realise the power I have to change my life

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to want to get everything done fast because i fear i wont have enough time to get it all done - and in that haste and fear to look at the big picture and get overwhelmed by it not realizing that i wont get it done fast and worrying about the future is utterly pointless

I forgive myself that I have mot accepted and allowed myself to breathe - to focus one point at a time and realize that through time and  accumulation one point becomes many points and in that ill get things done effectively instead of doing nothing by worrying 

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to realize that blaming myself has no point - self blame is knowing I am responsible but wallowing about it and not doing something about it.

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to to instead of blaming myself when things go wrong to take self responsibility - in that take action and do what needs to be done - instead of doing nothing

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to see that I have the power the face any point that comes up in my life and that each point is an opportunity for me to push though and become stronger and more effective

I commit myself to stop becoming overwhelmed when looking at the big picture but to take it day by, breathe by breath, point by point.

I commit myself to accept that this will take time - and that there is no quick fix

I commit myself to realize that hopelessness cannot exist if i breath and take it one step at a time and that i can only be overwhelmed if I  believe that i am not able to walk this process

I commit myself to give myself the chance to walk this process and to realize that i do in fact have the power to stand and face whatever points comes up.

I commit myself to realize that all fear is my doing and that it is not real

I commit myself to give myself worth and the power to face each point
