I understand exactly what you mean. I have been trying to be kinder to myself in my thoughts. I didn't realize how much I was beating myself up for trying to do the impossible (keep everyone else happy).
I actually put a reminder alarm on my phone to go off during the day to remind myself to be kind to myself.

agreed--an affirmation I say is: I release all limiting thoughts and feeling that no longer serve me.

it scares the hell at of me,but the more i do it the better i get .

All of your comments inspire me!! It IS impossible to take care of everyone else. You actually lose sight of who needs it the most....WE do! Just a TY to everyone for the inspirational words!

After last Sunday, I was exhausted and overwhelmed from trying to take care of everyone else. And you know who expected me to take care of all of this? Me. Just me. No one else put this load on me. So I have spent the week recovering from my attempts to control, fix and make better while not taking care of myself. When I started taking care of my needs, I felt much better

"Kind" is the key word. I've always found it easy to be kind to others. I've always been very selfish as well. But I've never been kind to myself. This because it's difficult to feel deserving of kindness from others--let alone from myself.

Being truly kind to oneself is fundamental. It feels so foreign and weird it's difficult to know where to start.

It's worth it though!

Keep trying.

Best regards,

doing it for the first time in my LIFE....feels so weird to me and it scares the heck out of me.

others are even mad at me for not being concerned about them right now.
