I find that I'm a chronic overthinker. That last post definitely represented some kind of breakthrough, but once again I started to overthink what it meant to be open. That's pretty vague, open, it could mean a lot of things. What I've come to determine is it's really just all about allowing myself to be more accepting of myself and not feeling like every little flaw is proof of my incompetence.
I was trying to figure out how to stop being anxious about stuff and a constant worrier. It hit me that the reason I worry about all that stuff is because I'm way too hard on myself for my mistakes in life. So instead of trying to relax and attempt to let go of the anxiety, I told myself it's ok if I screw up or make a mistake. I'm not a bad person for doing so. And in the grand scheme of things my one little blunder is microscopic and the only person that places such high importance on it is me.
Maybe I've talked about that before. I have a tendency to forget important stuff for my well being then remember it at a later time. It's weird. Like I have to remind myself to treat myself with kindness.
Anyway I spoke to my mom the other day and told her about EHPRA 2.0. I'm still very apprehensive about telling friends and family about these subliminals. But I explained it to her in a way where it made sense. I felt it was really important to tell her because I'm like a mirror image of her and I know she's been trying to overcome a lot of the same hardships I face in my day to day life. I don't know where I'd be without these subliminals because I see so many other people suffering and not finding a solution to that suffering. And that's a really scary thing. To live with that constant feeling of life being empty.
