MAKE SMALL STEPS - Jordan Peterson

IT’s true because I was one of those people. Admitting I felt humiliated was a good step in the right direction to fixing my life. And I’m not done yet! I’m fixing me in ways I never thought possible. ❤

I did it broken from clinical depression. I fought a war wounded. I was going full on as a single and independent woman who raised our kids alone as he ran away with his girl friend. Years later he tried to take the entire house while I was working so hard. My cup literally over flowed and I crashed into a clinical depression. The house was sold I took half bought my own home all with depression. Then my full energy came back and I became stronger then ever. Worked hard again. Now just retired and loving my life again. I thank God every day for making me brand new again. U-tube clips like yours and others really helped me heal as you all knew exactly what I went through married to a narcissist.

I’m 72 years old and needed to hear this. Now I have to put into practice.

People do become demolished by things like loss. It is a fact. If you were not nurtured but instead terrified because of unhelpful family, it makes it even harder to recover. I am one such person, still struggling to do the most basic things in life because of adverse experiences from childhood on.

Thank you for this. I can't face my bedroom. Maybe tidy my handbag. So tired. No sleep. No impetus.

Small reachable goals, one step at the time is slogan from recovery for people who suffer with behavioral disorders.😊

Heres my situation...am a bilateral below knee amputee in transition from 'walking' on my knees to prosthesis'. My wifes early onset dementia was exacerbated by her having broken her back and subsequently having to be placed in a nursing home. This immense stress is coupled with having to clean and reorganize this 1, 000²ft apartment.
How to eat an elephant is one bite at a time. No matter how small the bites are.
Thank you, J.P.

Every task completed gives a feeling of accomplishment and a boost to continue to do more.

I needed to hear these words more than anyone will ever know😢

So true about starting small. Use the suggestion to, move one thing at a time, that helps to feel productive. Be kind to yourself first then to others.

During my 3 month Covid death dance beginning Dec/22, I lost my brain and found complete physical and mental exhaustion. I stopped caring for my teeth but took hour long hot baths trying to muster up the physical strength to change my sheets. After progressing to where I could laundry my bed linens, I succeeded in dressing my pillows and bed the way I used to do quickly without thinking.
After, I sat on the end of the bed totally spent, searching for the strength to go collect the trash on my curb torn out of the plastic bags by a hungry dog. I had to start w getting a new bag..labored up the drive, started cleaning up..finally got it sorted after taking 4 breaks. This was my complete morning as I could not face another disaster which would be so easy for anyone else to make ready. I truly had to take everything at such a bare base level of effort, I couldn’t do anything. People asked me what’s wrong…I truly believed it was everything. Still do.
Mr Jordan is describing me perfectly…though it bothers me and I wish I could do more, I can’t do anything. Bless you, Mr Jordan.

This is what I believe never think it can't happen to you. Pray it doesn't. Thank you for helping those who need it, Mr. Peterson.

Ive stopped sinning continually, but the root peoblem is the human male female heart and evil spirits then theres other humans, we must ask God to help us commited towards the hard physical task. You can do good! More than evil. Your heart evil comes out of it but so does good. So then pray to good for more t good to placed in human hearts. God loves you! Jesus amen!

This would have really helped me years and years ago feeling like i was the only one with these humiliating circumstances for my own sad back reasons. It's not like we want others to be going through the same messed up life state it just feels like I/we can be free knowing we aren't alone in this confusing labyrinth

I just started by getting rid of everything I hadn't used on 1yr

Lethargy and the lack of motivation can be considered a curse but in my case, I have been greatly motivated by the Holy Spirit to maintain a "Leave it all behind mentality" for the purpose of pursuing my Higher Calling. I questioned my lethargic mentality according to the material world, many times and even though I don't like it, I have found great purpose.
King Solomon was right when he said, it's all rubbish.
Even my bills and my mortgage payment would be put in a pile until the very last moment until the Holy Spirit prompted me to go through the pile.
What... again, over and over the blood rushed to my head in fear that my payment would be late but it was not. My conscious awareness kept confirming that I needed to continue to Trust and Obey. During this time, my Spiritual Awakening became more real than I ever imagined.
I am 100% convinced that my trajectory towards my eternal purpose constantly confirmed that my journey was made clear
And i just needed to Trust, even if it required me doing nothing until the very last moment.🙏
