I Have Trouble Following My Own Advice

I’m only human

I am a self-help writer but no I can’t always help myself. I am very good at giving out advice, but I don’t always follow my own advice.

Taking your own advice is often a lot harder than giving it to someone else. You know what you need to do when a problem arises, but you just keep it in the back of your mind.

I know I am a powerful spiritual being and I can create the life I dream of but I don’t always believe it’s possible.

I advise people they need to write daily to become great writers, but I sometimes go weeks without feeling like writing anything at all.

I tell people to hold on and that it will all be ok but most days I feel hopeless.

I tell people they are never alone and God will never leave them, but most days I feel forsaken and all alone.

I advise people they need to meditate, but some days I feel it’s all a bunch of bs.

I tell people the answers they are searching for lies within them, but I sometimes go looking for answers outside of myself.

I tell people to watch their thoughts and the words they say to themselves because they create our reality, but most days I’m mean to myself.

I tell people they are powerful and can manifest anything, but I can’t manifest little things.

I advise people they can’t give up, but most days I come close to throwing my hands in the air and giving up.

I tell people to learn to become better listeners, but I don’t listen. All I do is talk and interrupt others when they are speaking.

I tell people to control their emotions but most days my emotions are all over the place and they control me.

I tell people to raise their vibration, but I can’t seem to keep my own vibration high.

I advise people to heal the past and let it go, but I am still holding on to things that happened years ago and it still makes me so angry.

I tell people happiness is not outside of them; it lies within but I’m sad a lot and can't seem to find happiness within me.

I tell people to be careful of the energy they spread, but sometimes all I do is spread negative energy and make others unhappy.

I tell people it will all be ok but I don’t always believe that.

I advise people to get out in nature and get some sunlight but some days all I want to do is lay down on the couch and eat junk food knowing it’s unhealthy.

I know the power of solitude, but some days I call up people who aren't good for me just because I'm afraid to be alone.

I tell people to write in their journal, but I haven't picked up my journal in months.

I advise people to stay connected to a higher power, but just the other day I got so angry that I screamed and yelled at God.

We can’t take our own advice no matter how bad we know we should. When emotions are running wild, it is so easy to forget everything you've learned and already know and we act out on our emotions. We become distracted by our own thoughts and feelings that we cannot look at our problems rationally.

If you find that you have this issue, don't worry, you are not alone and you know what that makes you? It makes you human. You are doing the best you can so be gentle with yourself. But it is time we give ourselves the same tough love.
