I needed this today. Life is such a struggle lately. No one knows what I deal with inside, which makes me feel even more worthless because I know what they see and must think of me.
I shared it with my 3 adult kids as well.

Gosh, I wish my therapist was as good as you 😢...

Wow, this message arrived with perfect timing! I am currently fighting with myself to be accepting that I have this unhelpful illness that I have had for around 30 years. Shutting up my self critical internal chatter is exhausting.

Now have this on repeat until it sticks

I had long-Covid plus other health issues. I went 2 yrs basically unable to do normal daily activities (dishes, laundry, even taking a shower). I felt like a total failure, even tho not my fault. So, I started writing down the smallest of accomplishment each day, to stop berating myself. After a while, I noticed that my achievement list truly lifted my mood, and it inspired me to add to the list each day, even if only a 10 min walk. The success 🙌 was I stopped beating myself up. Slowly, my health improved. Finding my way to HOPE got me thru that illness induced depression.

Thank you, I needed to hear this today. I know how terrible things must look to other people who I already know are sitting in judgement & I constantly feel that I'm failing at literally everything anyway - if only the people who are quick to judge & criticise were aware that we are too often our own worst critics & harder on ourselves than they could ever be...your little short reminders are good pauses on all of that. Thank you 🙏

It takes one to know one. Scott has weathered the storm, come out with hella tools for us and I’m here for it. Thank you so much. I’ve chased validation all my life.

I survived working a professional job for 30 years while battling depression, anxiety, an eating disorder and helping with my moms terminal health issues. I am exhausted

Such an uplifting idea! Thank you. You’re exactly right.

[aegchannel]

Someone said to me recently "just take life day by day" and everything will be fine. Wow; they have no idea. I survive moment by moment. Thank you for reminding us to pat ourselves on the back when we make good choices in the moment. You're the best, Dr. Scott!

Thankyou. I especially needed this today.

[andreapeters]

I love that these are bite size. So much to process in short words. Again you give grace!

[janeyrevanescence]

Well…I’m struggling but so far have only come up with a few things. Guess it’s better than nothing though

One of the best parts of trawling for the wisdom or knowledge that is necessary for one daily? Is that you never know where it might come from.
Another thing that I've learned, is lightning doesn't strike twice in the very same spot...
I'm dealing with a complex grief issue... Where my dog that I have had for 8 years...mauled a tiny kitten. I tried to save him and get care but obstacles led to an urgent care visit. Where he passed.
For a few short days... I poured out love, pain meds, bathed, fed and did my best.
I'm so grateful I was able to give him a few days of what it would feel like to be loved...
As a Christian, I certainly believe that this Earth will be restored and that all that have died will rise again... Resurrection of life and then the resurrection of the Dead.
I believe when the kingdoms restored, that all creation that has suffered, will be restored and live and be well...if they're not already are.
My impulse buying is more centered around forgetting to order something and then all of a sudden remembering I needed it...
Ftr, why should I give a s*** what other people think? Who are they?
Aaron Burr the youngest ambassador to Russia, at 13... What is raised solely on the scriptures... Legend says.
I want to see Survival again.
