Permission To Be Where You Are

Whose worse critic is themselves? ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธ I realized the other day that I am usually so thoughtful in how I speak and treat others, so intentional and caring and careful...

BUT not towards myself.

I get so disappointed in myself, say things I would never say to others.

So in this season where Iโ€™m not where I thought I would be, where a few hard knocks have slowed me down, I am choosing COMPASSION.

Choosing to give myself permission to be where Iโ€™m at and still be enough.

Just acknowledging whatโ€™s going on with compassion and not criticism. Like, โ€œI see you wanting to shut down from the painโ€, I see you finding today hard to faceโ€, โ€œI see you avoiding that big taskโ€.

Being the one to really see whatโ€™s going on for you, and have compassion and kindness as your response.

You donโ€™t have to have it all together. Who really does all the time??

Letโ€™s give ourselves permission to be wherever weโ€™re at, to notice whatโ€™s going on, and respond with compassion.

You are loved. You are loved. Even right here, you are loved.
