How do you talk to yourself?
I just realized, I talk to myself not in the most friendly way. Woke up this night, feeling shit as fuck, feeling sick, haven't been sick in a while so that's fine. This morning my thought carrussel went like this: oh my god you can't walk the dogs, they will have like this pinned up energy and the big one will go crazy and bite someone one day, who the fuck is caring for the kid, poor thing will be at home all day doing WHAT, fucking shit who is taking care of the grocery list, fucking work, fucking need to call my grandma hopefully she doesn't hear I'm sick otherwise she will have a heart attack, fucking shit laundry, fucking where is the cat, and so on, even showing up in work meetings. Not oneeee single second I thought "oh ok, seems to be a day in bed, alrighty then", because it's not alrighty then when you're a single parent caring for it all.
BUT. My tone of voice could have been much nicer, because I would not talk to my single mum friends like this when they're sick.
Will practise gentle talk with myself from now on.
Be kind to yourself β₯οΈ
