Acts of self kindness

<< < (2/2)

I struggle with self-kindness too, I am trying to work on it, but I'll be honest I am struggling with it today xx

Terri:
Hello! What a great post. :)


I like:


- Having a shower with delicious smelling shower gel.
- Spending time on my appearance (applying light makeup and curling my hair.)
- Going for a paddle in the sea and smelling the sea air.
- Making myself good food.
- Using my neck massager.


I think my issue is that I'm OK at doing nice things for myself when I'm feeling well, but when things are rubbish I lose the motivation to do anything. So I don't shower for days/weeks, don't leave the house, don't cook etc. It's a hard thing.

Have you had cbt ?

It helps challenge the addiction of past behaviour and triggers. Self harm is an addiction, so are all our reactions to triggers .

You can change your reactions and behaviours with the right mindset and support.It takes hard work and effort but is worth it.

Self help books are a good starting point to help change your thinking and challenge self esteem issues x
