Be gentle with yourself.

Being kind to oneself. Wowsa, sometimes this can be so hard for me. It used to be my “go to” to demand perfection in every area of my life. And it was so exhausting, believe you me.

Whisper softly ... There is nothing wrong with me.  I have patterns to unlearn,  new behaviors to embody  and wounds to heal.   But there is nothing wrong  with the core of me  and who I am.   I am unlearning  generations of harm and remembering love

Being kind to oneself.  Wowsa, sometimes this can be so hard for me.  It used to be my “go to” to demand perfection in every area of my life.  And it was so exhausting, believe you me.

Then I come across beautiful quotes like this one that whisper that “there is nothing wrong with the core of me and who I am” … a reminder to be gentle with myself.  That just feels good in every fiber of my being.

We are all works in progress because the very definition and nature of being alive is to constantly change, adapt and grow.  At the very core of our being we are perfect, because that’s what LOVE is.

So … may love for ourselves be the new “go to,”  and may we all be reminded of what a beautiful, magical work-in-progress we are.

Food For Thought:  Are you perhaps a recovering perfectionist?

Challenge:  Repeat after me:  “I am a beautiful work in progress, and I’m O.K. with that today.”
