How we talk to ourselves matters. How we respond when we fail or fumble, matters. As someone who’s been intentionally cultivating a loving relationship with myself, I can’t tell you how motivating it is to know that I have my back. No matter what. That I won’t beat myself up ever again. Like ever. And when old neural pathways show up automatically, you know the mean girl that wants to shame the crap out of me?, I witness those thoughts and remind myself that that’s not how we treat ourself anymore.

Working towards a goal is a helluva lot more fun when I’m being kind and patient and curious with myself. I’m done with the ‘tough love” crap because those results were short-lived and really hard to endure.
