Me too. One of the things I learned early on in my journey to overcome self abandonment is that we must let go of caring about what others think about us.

I’ve needed to go through a big pile of clothes, to decide what to keep and what to donate, for months. I have put it off again and again. The pile glared at me every time I walked into the room where it lay. In my mind, this task seemed HUGE and felt overwhelming because I HATE trying clothes on (I HATE shopping for them too!). This morning I made a deal with myself that if I went through the clothes I would count it as my daily workout which my brain seemed to find intriguing. I pulled the pile of clothes into one location and turned on something to distract my mind while doing it that I thought would last about as long as the task would take, about an hr. And then I started going through the pile one piece at a time. Much to my amazement, I finished in less than 15 minutes!!! It’s interesting how our mind can turn a relatively small task into a mountain of one!
