This is a repost of a podcast I recorded in June of 2024. I heard it today and it was so relevant that I decided to share it again. Check it out.
We can be so hard on ourselves.
When we’re on this journey toward becoming more of our truest selves, we will have slip ups. It’s just part of it.
We need to be kinder to ourselves and recognize that many of our patterns of thinking and ways of being have been solidified over time. We’ve been thinking certain ways, responding certain ways, and expecting life to show up for us in certain ways for not just days, or months… sometimes for DECADES.
Why do we think a habit that took years to make, will be gone in days? It’s not realistic. We could do well for a week, or a month, but if life starts lifin’ (or we get hangry), it’s really easy to shift back to our old default setting. It’s familiar.
We need to realize that the fact that we even noticed that we are doing that thing again shows we’ve grown. There was a time when we didn’t notice. There was a time when it was our default setting. There was a time when it was so natural that we would just go on being and doing as normal.
The fact that we noticed is something we should celebrate. We’re growing. We’re shifting. We’re becoming aware. And that means we’re making progress. So let’s be kind to ourselves.
Let’s notice what’s going on that led to us slipping into that old pattern. Were you hungry? Were you around a certain person from your past? Were you feeling physically uncomfortable? Something as simple as the tag in your shirt rubbing against the back of your neck, or being too hot/cold, sleepy, or hungry could cause you to slip into that old default setting. Check in with yourself. And be kind to yourself.
Anywho…. check out today’s episode. I think it’ll be helpful, if this resonated with you.
Blessings!
