What we can and can’t do is ruled with an iron fist by the emotions we have around them.
Think about grabbing half an hour of ‘me time'.

If guilt, shame, anxiety, unworthiness or a thousand other negatives show up…

The issues is not “What is the most revitalising thing to do?”

Nor is it, “What works best?”

But rather, “I can't I allow myself this gift.”

It’s normal to distract from those ugly feelings.

But you can’t doom scroll your way to your goals.

Try this instead:

• Imagine doing something luxurious and indulgent.
• Identify the negative emotions that arise.
• Turn towards them and feel them properly.
• Watch them dissipate.
