On accepting what is
Extending self-compassion
Pain is part of life. Don't exacerbate it by not being a kind partner to yourself. A kind partner sees pain as an opportunity to connect and understand, not judge and shame.
Enjoying the journey
There’s so much of who you are in your journey to celebrate now, to acknowledge now, to credit now, before you get there. Don’t miss it because of your intolerance to be here with what is. Don’t miss it because you’re in a rush to get there.
Defining enough
Whenever we think we’re not doing enough or that we should do more, we create self-judgment and stress. We think this will help us get more done, but negative emotions don’t produce positive results.
Procrastination is a decision
Challenging our self-concept
We create who we are by how we think about ourselves and how we think others think about us. All of it can be questioned and changed at any time.
