It’s not easy, I’m still tough on myself, but when I catch myself thinking negatively about things I’m doing wrong or not perfect, I imagine how my inner child would feel and I would comfort and forgive her, reassuring her that it’s ok and that we’ll figure out what we can do better

after being raised in a context where you were taught to be hard on yourself, leaning into self-compassion as a way of life in adulthood is truly powerful. hold yourself accountable and give yourself grace when you flounder, both are needed.

sometimes you gotta talk shit to process but often I think we talk too much shit…. At the end of the day we’re all human beings who are trying the best with what they’ve got. if someone is annoying you/acting mean/unkind it’s most likely all connected to a larger system that did not set them up for success. Instead of shit talking the rude waiter, celebrity drama, your friends annoying partner— let’s break down systems that are holding us all back!!!! or the systems that are probably holding that person back! Let’s give grace to humans and question the larger systems that generate more trauma and disconnect! that’s how we generate more love and compassion and move things forward
some of my favorite systems to talk about are:
•industrialized food and food accessibility
•consumerism/overconsumption (and the connection to social media & celebrity culture)
•hustle culture
•politics/2 party system
•cars/walkable cities/big oil
•big dairy
•Christianity
plz comment ur fav system to break down / talk about with ur friends i love this stuff….

what’s it gonna hurt!! you are power, you are a piece of the sun, you are as great as you believe you are! Fake that ego until it’s real. your inner voice is an insanely loving mother that only sees the good. it may feel silly at first… but you are as capable as anyone, so let yourself believe that you are! isn't that the first step in getting anything you want?
