I thought I might sit down and write out a few paragraphs about this. What do you think, any input? - Is it possible to choose not to judge yourself when you’re wallowing in self-pity or self-deprecation mode and you’re putting yourself down and beating yourself up? It would seem difficult at that time to stop doing that, but looking back at myself as a person who wants to do that these days, if I’ve done something wrong in the past and my subconscious bubbles it up into consciousness, I acknowledge it. I consider it and then I tell myself, while I might have been an asshole or an idiot back then, I’m not being that person anymore, so I don’t need to torture myself for my past mistakes anymore.
