After last weeks minor blip when I felt really blue, and my gremlins were shouting very loudly, I've been making extra effort to be kind to myself. To speak kindly to myself, to not compare myself with others, to not put crazy expectations on myself.
It's not easy to do all of that some days. I've found myself surfing late at night or early in the morning, looking through blogs and etsy shops.... and comparing myself. Comparing myself unfavourably.
"Why can't I do ...."
"Why am I not that good at..."
"Why don't I get that much done"
"I wish I was her instead of me..."
I'm trying to put a stop to that, harnessing the power of a kind word, spoken deep in my soul. No more comparing myself.
Asking why I don't get as much done (creatively) as someone who has no children....
Asking why I'm not as good at something as someone who's been doing it for years not months....
Wishing to be someone else when I AM ENOUGH
Changing the words of my heart
Being proud of what I HAVE achieved
Seeing how much progress I've made in just a few months
Celebrating what I do get done in a day (with 3 small children to look after too)
Being content to just be me
What are you doing to harness the power of a kind word?
