It seems I’m always trying out some new self-improvement theme. I keep them in an imaginary rolodex and when I get bored with one or I think I’ve mastered it, I pull out another.
Radical acceptance. Accept it, whatever it is, let it in, don’t fight it. That’s the only way to get rid of it.
Challenge myself to not complain, compare or criticize.
Stay present. Fight the want to go other places in my head.
Select my thoughts, the same way I select my clothes. Yeah but you should see the wardrobe crisis I have some days and the pile of tried on and tossed clothes on the chair in my room.
Don’t multitask. Do one thing at a time and put all of my focus on that one chore.
And the one I’m currently working on: don’t worry about what other people think. I possess a certain amount of idgaf inherently, but then I let my mind veer off and I wonder what others think of me, based on what might have been said about me. I love the saying “what other people say about you is none of your business”.
I tell my kids this all the time, so why don’t I have it down pat?
