January can be difficult. New Year brings pressure to change something about ourselves, driven by self-criticism.
This yr my resolution is to offer myself kindness not criticism.
We grow when we give ourselves what we need to do so 🌼
What will you give yourself more of this yr?

“We cannot outrun the unkindness of others by trying instead to be perfect”
A lesson I’m still unlearning. We cause harm with the unkindness we show ourselves in anticipation of, & in response to, not meeting an impossible standard

#selfcompassion
#selfacceptance
#youareenough

Perfectionism is so often a defensive response to the anticipation of criticism from others. But none of us can be perfect. How about we surround ourselves with kinder people instead? Listen to my podcast on Spotify or direct: https://t.co/oH19rOAE5G

You may not always notice the growth within you.

Small steady changes might feel insignificant… but your future self is being shaped by all of those tiny steps you’re taking.

I’ve been thinking about this quote a lot this week.
I’m so grateful to be doing this work and feel incredibly privileged to watch so many sunsets unfold. 🌅
