I really understand your motivation to support and your frustration with my lack of initiative. <br /><br />But I suddenly feel that if you know me, maybe this isn't the best place to be offering life coaching and if you don't know me then maybe it's not that appropriate anyway. <br /><br />I'm sure you can imagine that I give myself pep talks all the time, like we all do.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988685736635515808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6367596429065516772.post-32381662178468661472012-01-12T07:58:47.376-08:002012-01-12T07:58:47.376-08:00I agree with my fellow Anonymous.

What resources do you need(other than the lottery like the rest of us), and why are you feeling lazy? It's time to write a list of what you want (a realistic list) and from there, writing down what you need to do to get those things you want. 2012 is Project Jo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6367596429065516772.post-29708427050431924372012-01-11T06:21:59.645-08:002012-01-11T06:21:59.645-08:00I'm really not beating myself up for not being...I'm really not beating myself up for not being perfect. I'm beating myself up for being too scared and resourceless and lazy to fight the voice in the first place and for not doing all the things I could do to make it better :(Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988685736635515808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6367596429065516772.post-64983761121807085292012-01-11T04:30:30.674-08:002012-01-11T04:30:30.674-08:00I've found that the most important element of ...I've found that the most important element of being able to make my life change for the better is trying to still the voice in my head that says 'you're crap, you're hopeless, you're a disaster'. This sentence in your post really struck me - 'I'm just stuck under the enormous turnip of all the things that are wrong with me'. NO! Don't start off with the assumption that there are an enormous amount of things wrong with YOU. There may be lots of things in your life you want to change, including how you deal with and react to things, but there is nothing 'wrong' with you as a person, apart from the fact you are a fallible human being with faults like the rest of us.<br /><br />Don't beat yourself up for not being perfect. if you are seeking perfection, you'll never get to a place where you have a fulfilling life. Look at what you do have - skills and abilities in abundance (practical, creative and intellectual), being a committed and caring mother, having a real genuine concern for society and the environment, a thoughtful friend. That's fantastic. A really strong base to try and make some changes in what is a frustrating, but transitory, situation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6367596429065516772.post-64579691371511303732012-01-10T04:16:17.979-08:002012-01-10T04:16:17.979-08:00Well done - you finished it!

I ate nearly a whole bag of cheese nachos first, but it gave me the energy I needed :) <br /><br />And now... why am I still up? I'm astounded I can function on so little sleep. I was astounded I could even do it, the times I did it before were way harder.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988685736635515808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6367596429065516772.post-65582526001849366212012-01-09T14:13:10.281-08:002012-01-09T14:13:10.281-08:00Shit!
