In reply to Kathleen Hugh. Yes, the "friendship" approach is my fav, but to each their own. Whatever works: tending, taming, tackling, or something else. Always good to hear from you, Kathleen!

As usual, your advice is so clear and meaningful. Recently I heard the issue of how difficult it can be to deal with the internal critic in a way that fits me often. One therapist character said, ” You are not broken.” To which the other responded, I know I am not broken. But knowing and believing are two different things.” With that in mind, I shall reapply your friendship principal. Thank you.

Madelaine,

Thanks for advice. I can imagine that a log might be helpful, despite my notorious procrastination and laziness that would create a huge hurdle. But I would appreciate more specific guidance about the most useful App you’d recommend.

In reply to Jane.

Yeah, me too, truth be told. But the phone is such a good messenger of pleasant surprises! For example, I just read your comment on my phone 😉 I guess it’s okay if it’s okay—and that we just need to get better aware and honest with ourselves about when it’s not.

Hugs,
Madelaine
