I got an idea and enthusiasm to share the following while sitting in bath, so here goes. I think the following list may in general be more useful for softer or more sensitive people, as I think they could be more prone to judging themselves/giving themselves a hard time. So the following lists are (expressed) thoughts that can release resistance from negative thoughts. Of course, they can be used only once, or be used more as a mantra to bring oneself back to center when troubling or restless thoughts and emotions are present. These thoughts are largely for what has been relevant in my life and aren't necessarily tuned to your needs but because we live in the same world, might be applicable for you too. The nice things about these thoughts is, for me anyway, that you know they are true, and therefore don't feel like make belief but rather reminders. The idea is that you can look through the list and see if some thoughts speak to you. If they do, you can repeat them a bit slowly in your mind or say it out loud (softly). Then notice how they make you feel.   I don't need to try harder I don't need to push myself I don't need to have it all together I don't need to achieve anything I don't need to make things happen I don't have to be further than I am I don't have to be more developed I don't have to compare myself with others I don't have to know more  I don't have to understand more   I don't need to be forgiven I don't need to forgive another I don't need to be loved I don't need to love another I don't have to be nicer I don't have to be more loving I don't need to save anybody I don't need to be saved by anybody   I don't need to have it all figured out I don't need to know what's going on I don't need to control things I don't have to beat myself up over anything I don't need to think unpleasant thoughts about myself I don't have to argue with my thoughts I don't have to respond to (negative) thoughts I don't even have to listen to negative thoughts I don't have to believe any thoughts that don't feel good I don't need to know how to heal myself I don't need to fix myself I don't (have to) know how to fix things I don't have to think about what will happen I don't need to know what will happen I don't need to know or understand anything
Wishing you well,
