Thoughts
For me personally it is not completely natural for me to offer myself compassion. It seems like making excuses and detrimental to learning from mistakes. I think I deserve to be criticized and am on guard to not make mistakes much of the time. It can be exhausting!
Being our authentic selves is not easy. So many of us don’t really know who we are and what we want we can’t see our authentic selves. God bless those of you who have this down. It is a daily struggle for me and takes awareness (hence my mindfulness practice – had to get that in there!) and a willingness to be honest and the ability to let go of worrying about what other people think.
