(Video) How Can I Be My Own Ally?
I’ve got a lot going on right now. It’s almost dizzying. It seems many of us have gotten off the pandemic-induced “limbo train” and are starting to move forward.
Yesterday I found myself being critical of all that I had not accomplished. When I paused and began journaling and prioritizing, I realized I was not being supportive of Renee; I would never speak to a friend the way I was speaking to myself. Enough! This week I’m sitting with the question, “How can I be my own ally?” and examining how I can bring in more compassion and understanding to my current life stage. Care to join me?
It is a beautiful experience being with ourselves at a level of complete acceptance. When that begins to happen, when you give up resistance and needing to be perfect, a peace will come over you as you have never known.— Ruth Fishel
