First be kind to yourself.
Then be honest with yourself.
This is the constructive way to change.
The typical way is to beat yourself up over failure,
skirt past the root cause,
and do nothing because you are so demotivated.
If you can extend grace to other people, you can extend it to yourself.
First, be kind to yourself.
Then be honest with yourself.
Grow slowly

I use to snap at myself when I blew doing something successfully. I heard myself being unkind to myself one day and I thought, “would I speak that way to anyone else?” You know the answer. No, not at all. And now I have changed that long enough that it’s better. Not perfect. But I don’t say I’m stupid anymore. My dad would infer that by saying that was stupid when I erred. Beware of those dang little foxes. They’ll chew that vine in two!🪷🌲
