Today I drew a card that represented Compassion and Kindness to oneself. The card advised me that I am too hard on myself. I judge even the most minute detail and then work so hard to try and clarify what it means, how to fix it, what could/would change if things were different. I need to show some compassion and kindness to myself.
I am OK. I will be OK, and it is all OK.
Why is it we are able to show compassion and kindness to others even God's many creatures, yet with ourselves we are so hard? We expect nothing but perfection from ourselves, yet as mothers, we are willing to keep on helping our children learn the lessons in life. We keep on picking them up when they fall, when they make a mistake, yet, we are not willing to do this to our self. We need to constantly nurture the child within us...even the adult. We will make mistakes. Few mistakes are intention. For whatever reason, they happen. It is OK. The world will continue, we will continue and if we are able to view this as a learning lesson, the more the better. Stop being so hard on ourselves. I need to realise that I am learning and there will be things that I could/should have done better. They were done the best I could at the time with the knowledge that I had at the time. Today I may know differently, yesterday I didn't.
I will stop judging myself so harshly, and just graciously accept each and every day as it is.
