It has been over a week since my last blog. Shame on me for that. Even though I'm really not doing this for exposure or fame or friends or whatever, I need to be more disciplined about writing. I'm doing this for me, and if I can't commit to me, I can't commit to anything.
Maybe I don't feel guilty enough when I let myself down. I would feel tremendous guilt if I needed to do this for someone else, and it didn't get done. So why don't I feel bad about not accomplishing my own goals? I mean, there's some moderate disappointment, but if I was doing this for a job, I'd feel completely horrible. No, I'd never let it get to this point.
Why can we do things for other people that we can't do for ourselves? We get work done. We motive others on their diets. We offer great advice in times of trouble. Do we have to sit in front of a mirror and talk to ourselves daily? Would we become more caring of our needs if we did so?
I let myself down nearly everyday. It's only recently that I have begun to let other people down too. I feel guilt that I have let other people down but none that I have left myself down. Exactly like you describe. What can I do to achieve more for myself...?
ReplyDeleteYou're being too hard on yourself I think. Although I understand where you're coming from. I feel like that all the time.
