💥Growing up, the voice inside my head was often harsh and critical. It was the dominant one I knew ! I'm sure most of us can relate to it. I believed that being hard on myself was the path to growth. But over time, I realised that this put a strain on the way I established my boundaries, the way I related to other beings, it was not only exhausting but also detrimental to my wellbeing. Practicing and embracing self compassion became a transformative journey. It was a tricky journey to identify that most of my innercrital voice was not mine, it was a borrowed one that became solid within.
⏳There are moments when I feel angry, when I react sharply, or when I don't show up as my best self. It's in these intense moments I also remind myself of my anchor: Intentional Kindness. Choosing kindness isn't always easy, But each time I return to it, that's where I find my peace and grounding. It took years to accept kindness and healthy boundaries for the self can co-exist.
🧚🏼♀️Compassion starts small from how you talk to yourself, your tone with urself , the choice of words you use, how you treat yourself, how you grant permission for yourself, how you acknowledge your existence, how you meet your needs in a healthy way, how you take care of your energy to whom you surround yourself with. Self-Compassion is a journey. It starts within and from there it radiates outward, strengthening our relationships and fostering a deep sense of connection.
🌷Kindness is the antidote!
☁️Do you practice self-kindness intentionally?♥️
