I feel like this is something that I needed to hear today so thank you for posting this video. I too have this "ideal version" of myself and it's inevitable when I don't live up to it, so rather than focus on the things I can change, bit by bit, I feel overwhelmed and disappointed by expectations that I know will not be met. I wish you the very best with your own journey! It's certainly something that's a work in progress.
Aw Jade, I'm so glad this resonated with you! It's funny how so many of us face the same things but it can feel like a personal failing in our own minds - I think it's so important to share these types of things, since shame can't exist when you let it out of its little sad bubble. Let's both work to focus on the little things we can do each day, and not overwhelm ourselves! Ganbatte! :D
i have that issue as well. i prefer to call it self indulgence.
Oh that pesky pesky self-indulgence!

Ganbatte indeed! It always helps to know you're not alone :)
