Listening to your inner self

Feeling very meh toward my imperfect self this morning. Blah.

I’m noticing my internal voices struggling with being not enough AND too much - yikes!

When I’m in this mode I try to slow down and listen to my body and my internal voices / self talk. What do they have to tell me? What do they need from me for support? Sometimes it’s just a day of reset. Or a walk outside. Or some compassion and love for the wounded parts of me who are trying so hard to be seen and accepted and loved.

Usually this happens after a whirlwind of getting a lot done. I notice that the exhausted parts of me and the keep going parts of me are not getting along. And what I hear is they ALL need support, love, understanding and to be seen and heard. So, I’m learning to accept all parts of me as opposed to criticizing them.

Given I’ve leaned towards perfectionism and people pleasing most of my life, I know this isn’t a one and done. It’s a life long process. And honestly knowing that feels comforting.

If this resonates, hang in there - self-acceptance, self-love, and self-compassion takes time to develop. And it’s never perfect. And that’s ok 💛
