Cali, you are so right. So many of us are hard on ourselves for one reason or another. And after so long of being hard on yourself where has it gotten you? Meaning us in general. We need to realize that we are human and can only do so much at a time. Allowing ourselves to relax and analyze the important things in life will be easier than trying to do it all at once. One thing I have done this new year was to make small reachable goals. And so far I have reached the two goals I set for January. If I didn't reach them, of course I would be disappointed but I would allow myself another chance and just work harder to achieve them. Good post Cali.
I’m trying to give myself grace with struggling through one of my college classes. I don’t like the class but I’m doing the work and I’m trying my best.
I’m working on giving myself grace for the fear I struggle with and the impacts it has on my body. As much as I’m trying to change it I also need to accept it isn’t a failure on my part that I have it.
Beautifully written, as usual. I've loved that word "grace", as well, but I see it more as acceptance than forgiveness. Acceptance of ourselves, of others, of our situations. Once we feel it, we can deal with it.
This is a time of renewal for so many, and if we can plod through it with grace, we'll have done something. Thanks for the reminders.
I had to give myself grace this week when I accidentally hit publish on my first book with Amazon KDP. My beta team convinced me that it was time anyway and to stop stalling production so I'm just going with it, which is also scary!
