“I’m a failure.”
“I should be better at this by now!”
“Everyone else finds it easy; why is it so difficult for me?”

Sound familiar?

When I’m learning something new or trying to change a habit, I sometimes find myself having thoughts like these. Instead of being motivating, this self-criticism usually pulls me into shame and stops me in my tracks: “I’m a failure so I might as well stop trying.”

When I’m being kind to myself, however, I remember that it takes time and patience to learn new skills and change old patterns and habits. When I’m being kind to myself, I celebrate every ‘baby step’, which gives me the momentum I need to stay on my new path.

Grounded in compassionate curiosity, process-oriented psychology views difficulties not as pathologies to be fixed but as meaningful information pointing towards the next step on a person’s growth journey.

I'm offering two free dream exploration sessions in June - that is, two different people can have a free session with me, either online or in person at Mullumbimby Creek NSW.

If you're interested, send me a private message before 16 June.

I'll randomly select two people on 16 June and privately contact them. I won't publicly announce who's been selected, for confidentiality and privacy reasons.

Feeling frustrated or ashamed that you’re not an instant expert? Disappointed that you keep falling back into the old way? Annoyed that the new way seems so hard, maybe even counter-intuitive?

It takes TIME to learn new skills and change old patterns and habits. So acknowledge every step you take and be kind to yourself while you’re practising.

There was a time when I couldn’t move my body freely; when pain prevented me from holding a shovel; from squatting down to converse with a plant; from walking.

I’m aware that many people can’t move their bodies freely. For some, this is a permanent condition; for others, it will be temporary.

I feel my privilege. I don’t take my mobility or my physical health for granted.

What are you grateful for today?
