GIVE YOURSELF A BIT MORE CREDIT
I don’t know about you, but in this complex journey called life, we often find ourselves juggling various roles and responsibilities. We aspire to grow, heal, forgive, and love, all while managing the emotions that come with grief and loss. Through it all, it's important to remind yourself this simple truth: You're doing your best.
Life is an adventure filled with twists and turns. Sometimes, it may feel like you're walking a tightrope, navigating a maze, or climbing a steep mountain. In those moments, self-doubt can creep in, causing you to underestimate your own efforts. That's why it's crucial to practice self-compassion.
Healing isn't a straight line; it's a journey with ups and downs. As you work on healing, you're also in the process of personal growth. This growth, though challenging, showcases your resilience.
Grief can be heavy, and forgiveness is often sought during this time. The ability to forgive, even amidst profound loss, is an act of grace.
Life is about searching for meaning while also learning to let go of past pain and regrets. Balancing these two aspects is a testament to your adaptability and wisdom.
Love is complex. While you extend love to others, remember that self-love is the foundation. Learning to love yourself is a journey, and it's okay to be a work in progress.
In the midst of these intricate and sometimes conflicting tasks, it's important to give yourself credit. Acknowledge the effort you put into personal growth, forgiveness, searching for meaning, and embracing self-love. The fact that you're trying, even when it feels overwhelming, is a sign of your strength.
Don't forget that it's okay not to have all the answers and it's okay to seek help when needed. Be kind to yourself, practice self-compassion, and recognise that you're doing your best. Life's journey is about progress and growth, not perfection.
If you are like me, sometimes these things are easily forgotten. So I urge you to just take a moment to appreciate your unique journey and the beauty of your existence. Your efforts matter, and you're doing remarkably well.
