Dear Gaia:

I am glad that you see the difference.

Regarding you being curious to see where this will lead you- I am here to accompany you on the way to where this particular insight (empathy vs pity) leads. This insight is just the beginning.

Here is what I suggest that you do for the rest of today and tomorrow: as you notice that you are doing those habits you mentioned, and as you notice the beginning of you criticizing and hating yourself for doing these things (daydreaming, procrastinating doing what needs to be done, etc.), shift from self-criticism/hate —> self empathy.

And let me know about it tomorrow.

Like I wrote before, it takes time and patience. And guidance. Before, you didn’t have this combination to make your efforts successful. Now you do, so success for you is now possible.
