We Can Do Hard Things
SELF CARE: How do we identify our real needs and finally get them met? (Best Of)

And on the other half is a list of what I call reset buttons. Okay. So the easy buttons are things that I have historically done in my life to abandon myself. Okay. These are, you know, you remember those easy buttons from the Staples commercials where somebody would just hit this red button and you would just be transported out of our, your painful situation and be in this pain-free existence.

SELF CARE: How do we identify our real needs and finally get them met? (Best Of)

So what I have learned over my life is that when I transport myself out of the pain, out of the, what Pema Chodron calls the hot lowliness of being human, that I miss all my transformation, right? That everything that I need to learn about my own needs, about myself and to become the next version of myself is inside the hot loneliness. How do I stay inside the hot loneliness?

Well, first of all, I don't abandon myself. Things on that side of the list are booze, binging, um, online shopping. I'm like thinking how to honest do I want to be on this list? I mean, I also, you know, just, just crazy online shopping. I mean, I don't even have to buy the thing. I could just pour stuff into my cart. It's so weird. It's so weird.

One time Abby actually, she thought I wanted all this stuff in our cart and she, it was a terrible day. I was like, no, no, that's not stuff I want. That's just, what is it? I don't know. That's just my shitty percent per that's my shitty consolation prize. I don't know.

Um, also I have this thing that's on the easy button, which is I have this like weird, if, if I, if I really want to abandon myself, but I can't, I have this thing where I just eat a ton of carbs and sugar and then go to sleep. It's like cereal or I don't know what it is, but it's like, I know that if I don't want to feel, I can just eat a ton of sugar. It'll make me so tired. I can go to sleep.

Anyway, those are the, those are the easy buttons. They help me abandon myself. They also are things that, I always feel worse after doing. I feel kind of better in the short term because I'm numb and then worse afterwards. That's how you know that it's an easy button. On the other side of the chart, I have my reset buttons. These are the things that help me stay with myself, right?

SELF CARE: How do we identify our real needs and finally get them met? (Best Of)

Not abandon myself. And it's so wild because they're all the most simple things on earth. Like drink a glass of water, take the dogs for a walk. take a break, read a chapter of a book. They're all the most simple, basic things, but they're little ways that help me believe that I can process things, that I can stay with things, that I don't have to run away. They're self-care.
