Barbara,
One of the "coping" statements, which also is an affirmation, that you best memorize and have immediately available is "I am just doing the best I can now given the current limits of my awareness, so I treat myself gently." And "I need not succeed in this particular endeavor, and that's ok - just a part of life."
Of course, the first one is a variation on the straight thinking in the Barksdale materials that I think should be required learning for anyone who wants to be happy and effective in life. It is my wish for you and my intention that you study and learn those at a very high level.
We have also discussed you developing a list of 10 coping thoughts to use in the moment, see
My Utility "Coping" Thoughts, under Self Internal Talk under Managing Your Mind under Psychology (click article title to link).
There is so much to be happy about in life, but we need to drop our primitive thinking that continues to set off the false alarms that make life not so good at the time. Soon, we will have you at "optimal" thinking, without (hardly any) criticism or perfectionism...and then we'll see how powerful you can truly be!!!
