Start Again

Start again, as many times as you need to. This is a new moment, this is a new moment, this is a new moment. Every moment is a moment you can start again. Your skin may be torn, red, bleeding, scabbed, scarred. Whatever stage it's in - it will get better. It can only get better. Let it do so. Resolve not to tear it open again. Resolve to let it stay closed, to let it take care of itself as it will. Support it in doing so. Eat healthy, sleep enough, don't fret over what you can't control. Take care of yourself, a little better every day, until it's a habit, until you don't have to think about it. Start again. Start now.

Incremental Change

Do not beat yourself up for not changing as fast as you'd like or as fast as others expect. Do not beat yourself up for repeating the things you never wanted to. Only you can judge how much progress you've made, and how much further you have to go. Congratulate yourself for small victories. Do not give up.
