Be Easy on Yourself

I used to be my own bully. A learned behavior that eventually became my default response to my mistakes and shortcomings.

Meme: Image of a gold trophy on a wooden table. Navy blue background with blurred gold lights. Text states: “Maybe you struggle with internal questions like, ‘Who am I to do this?’ and ‘Who do you think you are?’ Maybe by society’s rules you don’t qualify, but none of that matters when you’re ‘called’ and it’s your time.” — Marlene Dillon Empowerment Specialist mdillondesigns.com

Now, I am much kinder to myself AND I actually notice when I say/think unkind things about myself.

We all make mistakes. We miss an important call, we forget to set an alarm, we oversleep. We don’t have to beat ourselves up, though. We can acknowledge the mistake, without being mean to ourselves.

Regardless what you were taught about how to get things done, I still choose to believe that loving kindness can be a beautiful motivator, too. I can love myself into doing things, and I can be loving toward myself when I make mistakes. And so can you.

Another thing I address on this podcast episode is feeling like we don’t have a right to do, be, and have just because of who we believe we are, or who we feel others believe we are. I’m learning to release those external judgments and accept that others don’t have to approve me. If I’m called to do something, every door will open with or without their approval. The same applies to you.

Blessings!
