Yea, but being soft on myself also doesn't work, and I just lose my patience with myself real quick because it's annoying that I never get anything done.

if neither works then you might as well be kind to yourself, ne

it's hard work! I struggle with it myself, everyday

here's a secret, though: you're good, actually, even if you don't Do Thing. I will believe this for you, even if your brain won't

It's might sound kinda silly but one thing that helped me be kinder to myself was thinking about how I treat others

I'd never treat people I cared about how I was treating myself so trying to be as kind to myself as I was to others was the goal I set for myself

And overtime it became easier and easier to be kind to myself about my short comings

Yeah I may fail to do all the tasks I set out for myself today but I did accomplish somethings

It may even be little things some days and other days it's not a whole lot at all

But the kinder I was to myself the more I found myself able to do the things I set out to do

I still stumble some days but that's okay

Thanks for these words. This is a smart point of view.

I only wish I had learned it earlier in life

That would have helped me a lot over the years

So the next best thing is to help other people with it so that they don't have to suffer as long as I did

That reminds me of Rossmanns last video where he tells the story of how he discovered that he himself has also worth, especially compared to brokem apple computers.
