Stress Center Peer Support

I get so frustrated that this isn't getting easier QUICKER. I still let negative thoughts get at me and I want to be better at it.
Is it really all about practice, practice, practice? I want to do a better job. It's not an easy thing to be so disciplined. Anyone have any tips on how to be more disciplined as soon as you feel those yucks invade?

You sound as though you might be doing what I was doing - trying too hard.

I found that I was so focused on wanting to do everything just right that I was giving myself a hard time when I wasn't doing it right or when I wasn't feeling good.

Remember that one of the keys is to talk kindly and gently to yourself - always! If your discipline starts to slip remind yourself "hey, I've been working really hard at this, and I don't know how to do it righ every time yet, but I'm learning and I'm doing a great job!" Then, gently work at your skills a bit more.

Remember, there is only one you so you better take care of YOU!
