It's never too late to change, to decide that you are worthy, to love who you are even your mistakes because you are worthy. Hi Ladies, It's such a blessing to begin my week by talking with you about kindness, about being sweet or gentle with yourself. I know that you are already a people pleaser, that you take time to make everyone happy, that you try to run their lives as smoothly as possible. Yet, do you give yourself the same permission to be kind with yourself? Being soft & sweet with ourselves is one of the most difficult lesson I had to learn. To be fully honest, I'm far away from being good at it and I failed more than I wished at being kind with my self.
But, at least, I try... I try to remember that even my mistakes are great for my personal growth, that I'm capable of dealing with my own pitfalls... or at least, I can try to manage them or fix the ugly consequences of my weird choices. So do you! Making mistakes are our human way of experimenting new opportunities, it's our chance to expand our comfort zone and maybe to enjoy it. It's not easy nor comfortable.... For me, it's even painful (almost each time though)... Do not beat yourself up when you screwed something... Most of the time, it's not so horrible and you will not have to think twice before fixing your mistakes. Let's be honest for a while, I've made some major huge colossal mistakes in my life... I gave up on probably all the things I've enjoyed in my life because of a lack of money, lack of time, lack of self confidence... I thought that no matter what I try, I will miserably fail... Why would I try again because I knew I would fail? This is the kind of thinking that pops through my mind when I feel blue or when I'm not capable of being kind with myself... It's challenging to develop a real sense of pride, to build a healthy protective shield that will prevent you from self defeat or sabotage. It's even tougher for me to accept that failure is the only path to success... I need to accept that training is something right, that it takes hours, months, years to master a new skill... even for a hobby. It takes a huge amount of energy to remember that failing is just the result of an experience... Each experience will give you a positive outcome... Plan A may fail but you have 25 plans to try at least. I know.. you will tell me it takes time and consistence to try again... It takes energy, it takes commitment and this is exactly the reason why you need to be kind with yourself... Do not be harsh.. Failing does not mean you are a failure... it means only that you are courageous enough to try... By making the choice to be kind with yourself, you are loading your battery to be able to try again, to move forward. There are still 41 days before summer, I'm challenging you to be kind with yourself today and to take notes of potential act of kindness that you can do now for yourself. If you want to have more inner peace and more kindness strategies, I'm happy to invite you to #CherishYourselfAcademy which is our FREE 30 day course to discover who you are and design your own roadmap for the next 12 months. |
