it’s hard to change. be patient with yourself. you can do it, but it will be hard to do anything if you think you can’t or tell yourself you’re stupid or lazy. you have to believe that you can do something, even if you’ve never done it before, even if it’s hard to. shut off the thoughts that criticize you. they seem helpful or realistic but in reality, they are the only things holding you back. invite kind, encouraging thoughts in their place and everything will change.
