How to Stop Being Hard on Yourself

This one is near and dear to me… How to be kinder to ourselves?

I’ve recently been thinking about this… When I witness my daughter, she’s so joyful. She’s almost three and she’s so full of light, love, and purity. She’s so easy to love when she’s in that state. When I think of that child and how easy she is to love, and how pure she is, all of a sudden I realize that I’m that child, and that you’re that child, and that we’re all those children. But, somehow, we get muddied and we forget that. We judge, we compare, we criticize, and we disconnect from that essence.

So in order to really get better at loving ourselves, it’s important to realize that we are those innocent, pure beings of light that deserve nothing more than to be loved and accepted.
