You don't have to like everything about yourself to love yourself

It’s so easy to be hard on ourselves.

Our failures.

Our flaws.

All the ways in which we fall short.

We see behavior patterns we’d like to stop repeating.

We have thoughts that make us disappointed in ourselves.

Feelings that we know don’t serve us or anybody else.

Say things that we wish so badly we could take back.

We often ruminate over these observations.

Letting them replay over and over in our minds.

Thinking about how we’re so imperfect.

Flawed.

Broken.

We know that we’re supposed to love ourselves.

But how can we?

When there’s so much wrong with us?

Nobody is perfect.

We all have our problems.

We all fall short in so many ways.

That’s part of being human.

It’s okay to recognize things about yourself that you don’t like.

You don't have to like everything about yourself to love yourself.

It's what you do with what you see that matters.

Do you beat yourself up?

Or do you accept that you're not perfect?

But that you can work every day to be a bit better?

One step closer to who you want to be?

What is it about yourself that you’d like to change?

What can you do today to get started making that change happen?

What’s keeping you from taking that step?

You are worthy of the best life.

That starts with you.

Doing what you can to be who you know you can be.

While still loving who you are.

You’ve got this.

What’s actually happening?

We often assign stories to what’s going on around us. These stories can have elaborate introductions, conclusions, and messages. Rarely, though, do we ask ourselves if these stories are helpful or eve...

What if we simply listened?

Allowing others to open up to us can be a powerful tool for exchanging the gift of connection. So often, though, we're too focused on responding, controlling, or judging for any connection to form. We...

Life isn't always a problem to be solved

We often get stuck in patterns of problem solving. No matter what comes our way, we feel the need to do something. Sometimes, though, there's nothing for us to do. Life isn't always a problem to be so...

Those we see as least worthy of compassion are often those who need it most

Holding compassion for those we see as malicious, selfish, or otherwise unworthy may not feel right. Such characteristics, however, are often rooted in deep suffering or fear. Those we see as least wo...

Let your thoughts serve you

Our thoughts make wonderful servants. They can be invaluable for reflection, forethought, and contemplation. When we accept them without question, though, we allow them to act as our masters. They can...

Make peace with your imperfection
