I can make intentions and write down so many goals. It’s hard to make them stick though. It’s so easy to fall off the wagon that I don’t even have to try. I can always blame it on gravity. It’s not my fault and I would be right. This is according to Professor Paul Gilbert, the founder of compassionate focused therapy. I love his teachings.
So I am going to practice compassion towards myself. I will keep trying, knowing that I will fall off the wagon again and again.

Compassion for ourselves is sincerely the most important thing we can offer. Take good care. ❤
Thank you, Safrianna.
For so many of us we can show compassion for others but are hardest on ourselves. Taking time to be kind to ourselves and not beat ourselves over not completing or moving forward on a project will help us move forward in the future. What I have found is sometimes we have unrealist timelines set or its just not time for it.
So true, Kim. Thank you for reading and commenting.
Falling off the wagon happens to all of us; what matters most is that we keep getting back on, with compassion instead of criticism. I really admire how you hold yourself accountable and share it so openly here with all of us. That kind of honesty helps everyone feel less alone.
Thanks, Tamara.
We have to learn that we ourselves need compassion Lily. When I start making goals, I start small and only a few at a time. Don’t stress if you get a bit behind, you will always catch up!
Thank you, Martha.
