Life has been really intense lately. (Not just with me, I’ve been hearing it from lots of other people as well.) All this stuff has been coming up that I SWEAR I’ve worked through before. It wasn’t a problem anymore. And now suddenly it is again. And I don’t know what to do with it.
I had gone down the criticizing and bashing myself path. It’s so well worn and familiar, sometimes I don’t even realize that’s where I am until I stop and take my bearings. It never helps to be there. Never.
So this is a reminder I need right now. Maybe you do too?

It’s helpful to think of this when dealing with other people, definitely. It’s even more helpful when I remember this when focusing on myself. It doesn’t matter HOW many books I’ve read or tools I have collected or breakthroughs I’ve had, some days the best I can do is so far below my level of okay that I almost get repulsed by myself. Those are the days I need my own gentleness and care the most. They often happen because, once again, I have deprived myself of self-care and all those things I know help me but I feel guilty for doing or like I shouldn’t need them. I really, really need my own gentleness those days.
Where do you need your own gentleness right now? Can you give it to yourself? Even just a little bit. Every little bit counts.
Sending gentle love to all of us, especially those places where we need it the most. <3
