YOU didn’t mess up! —> YOU are getting better, you just don’t see it

We all go back to people we ‘shouldn’t’, we all relapse on that thing we’re trying to quit, we all get fed up that the fucking yoga class was just as hard 8 months in as it was on the first day. That’s normal, that’s human.You are not a machine. Your improvement cannot be drawn graphically, nor is it a linear line. You are improving I promise, even if it might not feel like it at times. Progress isn’t tangible sometimes, it’s just the fact that you said no to someone for the first time in years, or that you tried extra hard today but didn’t quite manage to set boundaries with that person. A lot of the time we can’t see our progress, especially when we are working on self improvement, because it’s not a quick and easy fix. But a year from now, five years from now, you’ll see it. My goodness you’ll see it and it will make sense. And until then, you are doing your best! Be kind to yourself. Forgive yourself. There is no need to be angry with yourself, you’re doing great. Proud of you guys, thanks as always for listening. Xx Lydia ‘Children of Divorce’ is available wherever you get your podcasts, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTubeFind me on TikTok & Instagram under @childrenofdivorcepod and @lydianathenson
