Upwards - DB myself to happiness!

[Upwards]

I'm terrible for beating myself up & expecting too much of myself, I'm really working on treating myself how I'd treat a friend - habit of a lifetime is hard to change though.

Every time you catch yourself doing this, imagine saying the same thing to your little girl. That should give you an idea of how destructive it is, and remind you to STOP.

Thanks melissa, I'll give that a try. I tend to do it without even realising so the first step would be to recognise when I'm being hard on myself then I can work on trying to stop it.
