Rep Power: 29  | Self-Compassion Affirmation When it comes to managing one's life and functioning properly in the material world, no amount of character or smarts can ensure success. Everything worth having is fleeting especially when we fall into the human pattern of taking it for granted. As a child, I always thought that by the time I was 27, I'd have it all together so much better than I do now. The best lesson I've learned is how to not beat myself up for my own lack of progress. We are all our own worst enemies. It is not hard to realize this fact about others, but it's an ongoing challenge to grasp this understanding of ourselves. Coming from a person who has only scratched the surface of personal harmony, time and time again.. I say that anyone struggling can achieve gradual progress by accepting and embracing their own imperfections.. by trying to compassionately understand themselves. Become who your dog thinks you are. Look at yourself the way your mother looked at you when you were young and entirely dependent on her attention. Look at yourself with pride.. not for what you can do or have done, but for who you are or might become.. Look at yourself with optimism-- the realm of possibility for whom you can become is only broadened by the hardships and/or setbacks experienced by whom you have been. Live life in day-tight compartments. If each day had to be summarized in the space of a small calendar square, live in such a way that the words of your calendar are stimulating to read. This is achieved, not by action but by perspective. Learn to appreciate the subtle nuances of your daily routine. Every life can be represented in a manner worth reading. -Leosyndicate.. 10/27/06 2:40pm PST |

obstacles in one's path should be, rather than a deterrent, a challenging invitation to move forward. | |

Rep Power: 4229   | Re: Self-Compassion Affirmation Speaking of self-compassion, some of us are schooled early on (or later learn) that we excel at making ourselves feel badly. Excel at making yourself feel better. Pamper yourself. Amidst the day-to-day, it counts. It makes those calendar boxes just scintillating. :D |

Pamper yourself is a good idea, but I've struggled for years over it. I'm at my best when I pamper myself with courtesy, respect, pride, encouragement, appreciation, empathy etc. In the past, pampering myself included a plethora of self-destructive vice.. or spending money i didn't have.. or being too lazy.. all extremely counterproductive. I've found that happiness, by nature, is fleeting. The more sudden or instant the gratification, the quicker it abates, often leaving me more in want than I was before I indulged... or in pain from overindulgence. Quality happiness, I experience, by the delayment of instant gratification. It's still fleeting, but much less so. The more gradual I let reality unfold into a form that I find appealing, the smoother the process, and the more sustained the happiness.. Patience makes time enjoyable.  | |
