It's not going to happen.

So assume that it's not going to happen.

It could technically happen, but assume that it's not going to happen.

And the self-compassion that comes with that, which is like, I wasn't like stupid and horrible last week.

I'm the same person.

This is hard.

And the other thing I wanted to say is one exercise which really helps people a lot, and I always share this, is write the name of someone you love dearly and would want nothing but good things for.

in the middle of a page and imagine they've come to you and said that they want to throw in the towel because they've had a blip or they've lost momentum or they've become disillusioned and write down what you would say to them to get them back on track as quickly as possible and then cross out their name

and replace it with yours and just practice doing that and it won't feel natural but I can assure you I love that it will be more likely to get you to the next best difficult choice and through it than the alternative which is well just like you knew you were a piece of crap yeah are you
