Why are we so hard on ourselves?
Sometimes I feel like I'm demanding too much of myself:
To be strong, disciplined, and never make mistakes.
And if I suddenly crave something sweet,
I start beating myself up and saying:
"Why did I go back to that?"
But with time, I calmly understood something:
It wasn't weakness.
It was exhaustion.
Exhaustion from:
Prolonged pressure
Lack of rest
A lot of "I need to be better"
I started to stop for a bit and ask myself:
What do I need right now?
Rest? Security? Or just a little kindness towards myself?
The strange thing is, just this question,
calms the voice inside my head.
I want to ask you:
Have you ever felt that the problem isn't the food... but the exhaustion behind it?
