Is it good to always be working on ourselves? | Bonus Patreon Video April, 2023

We all want to get better, feel better, and improve our lives... but how much work is too much work when it comes to self improvement? Sometimes I feel like we can keep working and working and burn ourselves out on it. I know I always feel like I am on my way to the goal or if I just keep going, then I will be successful, but what about now? Am I good enough now? Am I always going to feel like I am on the "come-up" or can I find a way to be happy with where I am while also looking for things I can improve upon? I am trying to find that balance and be happy with myself while I am in the process.. what about you? xox My Books (in stores now) Traumatized https://geni.us/Bfak0j Are u ok? http://bit.ly/2s0mULy Podcasts Opinions That Don't Matter! & Ask Kati Anything! video: youtube.com/c/OpinionsThatDontMatter Partnerships Linnea Toney linnea@underscoretalent.com Please Read If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, please call a local emergency telephone number or go immediately to the nearest emergency room.

I absolutely struggle with this as well. My therapist recently went on maternity leave and it gave me a chance to catch my breath a bit. Still really hard to turn the therapy brain off. Especially if so much of the content you consume is mental health related. As much as I love your videos/lives, I know I have to take occassional breaks to "just live life".

Though I miss the extra livestream, I like the idea of "random" videos. It is so helpful, to see that you have struggles, too. So we can all work together in improving ourselves. Let's do it together!

Hey Kati, Thankyou for the extra Video! I was just thinking this week from one of your posts about not only keeping in check negative Judgments but also not constantly striving to "Fix Ourselves" and just lean into those Breaths in moments or any healthy joyful distraction. As the "Fix it " mode constantly running drives hypervigilience, leads to Burnout or Frustration with not being where we think we should be.. when we may have had a lot to deal with that we have endured. I am having to experience a lesson in Patience and allowing what is and what is not yet to happen at a Slower pace and gradually things will resolve (yes some things too slow in my book! ) Then a new issue or opportunity opens up! I really think this new change is hopefully going to give that extra space you need for yourself as well as video insights. And maybe it will help others to get curious or take that Rest the mind + body has been desperate for.. or maybe its to take a leap into a new adventure or decisions we have been holding onto.. 🦋💜

I think we all struggle with these thoughts sometimes. It’s good to know even the people we think have it all together don’t. We are all human. I appreciate you sharing the random thoughts with us. Much Love!

Hi Kati, thank you for your thoughts. I have kind of taken a break from "working on stuff" in therapy. I don't know if it's avoidance but I don't think it is. I seem to always have things come up with just trying to live my life, for example I just had another one of my animals that I had to put to sleep so today in therapy I talked (and cried) about this and often it does lead to other things. Anyway, not sure what I'm trying to say except maybe we are all on the same journey - just trying to figure it out and it's ok to just coast sometimes. Thank you for everything you do.

100% see, hear and feel this!! It’s so hard taking a step back and appreciating the journey and progress we have made!! It’s hard to feel any satisfaction with the hustle of life. I think the last year has helped me try to appreciate myself and my efforts a little bit more…I think…well try at least! I hope you keep making the effort to appreciate yourself and your journey because you’re amazing!! ❤️

I am so sorry for your loss.. pets are family and I can't imagine how hard that's been. xoxo But agreed.. sometimes we just need to take a break. It's okay to rest as long as we come back to it when we are recharged :) xoxo

this was something that really changed for me when i got on a mood stabilizer, funny enough. once i stopped having such crazy mood swings it was just like, huh, nothing is fundamentally wrong with me. i don't need to be trying to be perfect all the time to like, earn basic human dignity. i can take a break from trying to be better and still be a pretty good dude.
