RE: Self-Forgiveness: the key to the life you most want
I've never been one to suffer from negative self talk, but I do find myself wrongly justifying my imperfections at times. For example procrastination. I will tell myself that I work better under pressure (this is most likely true), but I then ignore any other negative effects that stem from the procrastinating.
Exercise is another big one for me. I litearlly have my degree in Exercise Science, work as a Sports Performance coach, and yet I still struggle with staying on a routine because its easy for me to justify using my energy in other areas I deem more important.
I think approaching both examples with the mindset that I can do better as long as I allow myself to do so will go a long way.
I think that showing yourself kindness and compassion in any way you find to do so is going to make a big difference over time. Because what you're describing is a form of self-sabotage. You know what's beneficial to you, you know how to do it, I suspect you even have the ability to create the opportunity to consistently do it. But you don't do it.
You deserve to have the life that comes as a result of consistently doing all the things that are best for you. You deserve to live at a default setting of "I take good care of me."
This is the truth about what you deserve. Examine what must be there stopping you from living this truth. Greet whatever comes with a light and open heart, and absolute faith in your ability to create yourself however you choose to once the commitment is there.
