    Hey let’s all respond to this thread with whatever we’re currently procrastinating.

    I’ll go first:

    Pooping. Gym. Shower. Sleep.

      How can you guys procrastinate eating? If anything, when I’m bored, i eat, each and every single time. Honestly asking, how would it work for a person like me

      Yea, but being soft on myself also doesn’t work, and I just lose my patience with myself real quick because it’s annoying that I never get anything done.

        I think the trick is to be kind to yourself but to try different methods to solve your issues until you find one that fits. For example, a lot od people are helped by just having a schedule beforehand, so that’s generally one of the first things that get recommended.

                It’s might sound kinda silly but one thing that helped me be kinder to myself was thinking about how I treat others

                I’d never treat people I cared about how I was treating myself so trying to be as kind to myself as I was to others was the goal I set for myself

                And overtime it became easier and easier to be kind to myself about my short comings

                Yeah I may fail to do all the tasks I set out for myself today but I did accomplish somethings

                It may even be little things some days and other days it’s not a whole lot at all

                But the kinder I was to myself the more I found myself able to do the things I set out to do

                I still stumble some days but that’s okay

                  That reminds me of Rossmanns last video where he tells the story of how he discovered that he himself has also worth, especially compared to brokem apple computers.

      I made this meme while screaming at myself: “WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING A MEME ABOUT THIS SHIT NOW INSTEAD OF JUST WORKING?!”

    "Hey bud, I know you’re having a hard time working right now, and that’s a pretty good meme but maybe let’s just set a stopwatch and do at least 15 minutes of work before going back to memes. Don’t keep an eye on the stopwatch but you can check it if you really feel like you want to check memes. Okay good luck. "

    Best I can do, for some positive self talk
