Consider yourself as a pretty big deal. Having you in mind should and is never a problem, rather it should always be a priority.
Some of us come from a place where there is a lot of self-worthlessness. I have hated myself for some of the choices I made because they came with undesired results, memories that make me cringe every time I think of them. Maybe you too have been there before. However, I know that self-hate is sickening and unfair. As I reflect through this, I want you to know that there is no quality in treating yourself poorly with any level of unkindness or brutality because at the end of the day you are going to need to spend some time healing from it. So why do it to yourself in the first place. There is so much pain in suffering. You might not have tasted it all but at least you have had to experience a bit of it. Just so you know, you also deserve a break from the ordeals suffering. You deserve a taste of gentleness. I think if no one else can offer you that, you should at least give it to yourself.
I am teaching myself to be gentle with me. I encourage you to do same. I want you to know that it is okay to be imperfect. Sometimes you will make mistakes that will put you in states of vulnerability, where you might be able to do very little or nothing to save yourself, knowing that help wouldn’t come from anywhere.
There is so much haste, unkindness and brutality in the world, all of which needs to be addressed. This can only be done by people who are healed or are in the process of doing so. You cannot give what you do not have, that is why I am encouraging you to start consciously practicing self-gentleness. Be part of the people solving the problem by starting with yourself. Today, give yourself a license to forgive yourself for the mistakes you made. Give yourself the chance to seize the next opportunity to be better. Celebrate your little and most insignificant wins. Today, practice self-gentleness.
