Complimented myself a couple of times maybe. Criticized more often. I need to find balance!
@MissPen
Pen, i think we see our mistakes very fast and remember them for longer than the good things we do. Heard that some people have a compliment jar, a jar in which they put a glass bead or little stone for everything which went well during the day, it could start with waking up and doing a little self-care act. I hope you find your balance, you do so many things so well here on the site.
How are you doing, how was your week? I am doing OK. The week has been interesting, but survivable.
When you reflect back on this week, how often did you give yourself a compliment, were kind to yourself? I don't think I am kind to myself very often, and I rarely give myself a compliment. This is pretty typical of me, I spent too many decades with serious depression to ever feel I do anything right. I have looked at video of my performance last Wednesday and I find it just looks like me playing and singing. I come to work and I suddenly feel like I should tell people how much I appreciate them and the work that they do. Nobody ever does that for me.
