Overwhelm CTFAR Model – Part 6

Hi again!

From your previous reply, i forgot to answer this question “What are these time blocks to you?”. My answer is: A health routine – something i’ve put in place to taper my present in order to protect my future, and something that will help me manage the illness while also hopefully helping to cure it (and prevent relapse!)

And now to your current questions for me… “How do you want to feel about your anti-robot days or hours in the future?” – It would be nice to feel proud of myself, and grateful. ‘wow, past self, thank you SO much all your little efforts and hard work have helped present and future me so much. wow, past self, that was really a challenge but you persevered and you made it!!’

“What if you could consider yourself a person who is learning to rest and this is part of your education?” – I do speak of myself in this way – that i’m learning to rest, learning to slow down, and that it’s all vital for a sustainably future for myself. I don’t think i’ve answered your ‘what if’ though, as i’m not sure.

“Can you be anti-robot, dislike it, and consider it a win anyway? Why or why not?” – Going with the theme that rest is my medicine, i remember medicines i’ve taken in the past that hurt or tasted nasty. So I disliked the process of taking them. But i knew it was good (i.e. a win) to have done it. So logically, YES I can do that. When I think of it in terms of rest (of which the prescription is 4×30 minutes a day)… it feels more difficult because of the drawn out time of doing the thing i dislike.

Thanks Coach

This is all good information to have and explore, and you know yourself really well. What actions can help you achieve the goal of thanking your past self, putting in the little efforts, hard work, and persevering right now? What do you have to be willing to feel to be able to do those things?
