Here’s the truth:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even though I logically know that being mean to myself doesn’t make change happen any quicker or goals easier to hit, sometimes I still do it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These neural pathways are well worn, I’ve had over 30 years of practice doing it this way. Beating myself up as a way to push harder, produce more, be better.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because my brain is scared that it’s not good enough, that I don’t know enough, that I’m not enough.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And I have produced some amazing results with this method. I’ve also created some really intense cycles of burnout and stress.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But what I also know is the truth is that there’s another way.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I can be kind to myself and hold space for my humanity AND hit my goals.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve done it. And it feels a hell of a lot better.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I can put my hand on my heart, ask myself what I need, and hold space for whatever comes up.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And when I can really see myself as a person and not just a unit of production, that’s when the magic happens.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Creativity flows, goals get blown past, and things feel good.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I’m practicing being kind to myself every single day. Because I know that the other way doesn’t end up working out so well. Because I want more for myself. Because I want my kids to see a different way modeled for them.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What would it mean to do that for yourself?
