Cut yourself some slack

Dear You Know Who,

I am sorry for those times when I only focused on what I hadn't done well, what I hadn't accomplished yet, for comparing my successes or failures to others, or for staying stuck in the confusion versus what I knew to be true. I pushed you too hard. I expected the impossible from you and then felt mad and disappointed when you didn't deliver. I know that having high standards is good however raising the bar so high that no one could reach it is unfair. I let my inner critic win. Until now.....

I will move forward with confidence and self compassion. I will pay attention to the many things you do to make a difference in your work and in your life. I will celebrate these successes daily. I use a lens of possibility, passion, joy, love and success moving forward.

In this moment, I create a clean slate for you to rise up from all that no longer serves you and keeps you small.

Moving forward is the best way for me to create "new beginnings."

Your greatest fan!

ME xo
