I have been avoiding writing about my goals because I didn’t want to be confronted with the reality of having to actually make a decision as to what I want, and then holding myself accountable to my own decisions. 

What pleasantly surprised me this time around was how firm but kind I was to myself writing my letter. The format I used was a letter to myself 5 years from now. That was very nice, because ordinarily I am very hard on myself, and I have never considered myself kind to me. But now I realize I have the capability to and I should continue to foster that.

That's wonderful.

I often try to remind myself to talk to say what I would say to my friend in the same situation and resist the impulse to be cruel to myself.

The struggle is real.

Yeah I am very much a bully. But with friends I am quick to say things like, "You are doing your best, given the circumstances." "The situation is difficult, of course there are setbacks" etc etc.

Its a skill to be that kind to ourselves.

It’s unfortunate but I am not my own friend, I act more like a parent to myself
