Advice to Former Self
First I would give her a huge hug. The kind that kind of takes a part of your soul out (the hugger) and gives it to the “huggee”; she really needs that. Then I would tell her: ’stop, slow down, you are loved for who you are not for what you do’. I would probably tell her to repeat that to herself everyday.
Warrior Moment
I was able to practice self compassion on Monday. I was not feeling well and very tired and allowed my body to rest during the work day instead of accomplishing another task.
Definition of Recovery
Beautiful imperfection.
