An easy‑to‑read guide for Philotreat readers Why this post? Many of us carry hidden hurts from the past. Childhood neglect, family conflict, or domestic violence can leave painful “echoes” that show up later as anger, trust issues, or anxiety. The good news: simple, structured steps can help us break these patterns. One of the most beginner‑friendly tools comes from Cognitive‑Behavioural…

1. Don’t keep bringing up your past mistakes.

2. Don’t keep beating yourself up for the things you get wrong.

3. Don’t expect things from yourself that you’re not yet able to give.

4. Be proud of all the progress you’ve made.

5. Believe that you deserve to be respected.

6. Believe that you deserve to be wanted.

7. Believe that you deserve to be loved.

1. Take time to ponder the questions “What really matters in life; what do I want to have achieved when I look back over my life?”

2. Make time for solitude and silence. Filling every minute makes it hard to listen to our intuition, or that inner guiding voice.

3. Seek out people who inspire you – and then learn from them. There are many people who live inspiring lives. We can learn from their experience, and what they have to share.

4. Consciously monitor your progress. It is easy to slip back into unproductive habits. Hence, we need to be committed to sticking to our plan.

As dori sa mai adau inca un beneficiu, care nu este mentionat aici:

- acela de a te afla intr-un spatiu sigur, linistit, unde poti sa razi, sa plangi, sa fi, sa te pierzi, sau sa te observi. Poti sa te surprinzi pe tine insuti, nu doar in reactii si emotii, ci in propria gandire si comportament. Afli ca esti mai puternic decat credeai, ai mai multe sanse sa reusesti in scopul propus decat puteai sa vezi si ca acolo unde parea ca e sfarsitul, se arata orizontul nemarginit.

Little life update:

-I’m finishing up my last few weeks of practicum at the drug & alcohol addictions center. I love it. I love the people I work with. However, I received an email saying my supervisor may be leaving and so I will be in need of a new site to do my internship. 

-I started the stronglifts 5x5 program and have been doing A and B workouts. You are only supposed to do one, hence the hobble. 

-Christmas is in 7 days, my birthday in 8! Hopefully, I don’t get sick like last year.
