Orb Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) Self Comparison. Being hard on yourself. Spider webbing. I view myself in a negative light, there's thoughts about the world laughing at me and thinking im stupid or cringe lol. My substance use cessation has led to me investigating these layers of discord. What are steps I can take to be kinder to myself? How can I be gentler with myself? This isn't about making a self feel better or anything like that, it's about thoughts transmuting. It doesn't feel good to compare myself with other selves. It doesn't feel good to freakout. I started drinking coffee first thing in the morning and it actually stresses me out, like heart racing, argumentative thoughts arising. Im gonna drink tea tomorrow morning and then work out. Edited September 3, 2023 by Orb Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment. Neither do I remain where no enlightenment exists. Since I linger in neither condition, eyes cannot see me. If hundreds of birds strew my path with flowers, such praise would be meaningless." - A Comment on the 8th Ox Herding Picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
