Cut Yourself Some Slack
Here’s the thing… Life can be hard sometimes.
Now don't get me wrong, life can also be wonderful and full of all magic and miracles and all kinds of incredible things like babies laughing, puppies frolicking, or getting to be on the beach.
Yes, there’s a lot to show gratitude for… and let's just be real, life can just sometimes be a straight up totally brutal, knock you on your ass kind of journey.
Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about how life can be difficult… and even those hard moments are not something we want to skip over.
The suffering and the grief comes with the territory and is part of the journey of the human experience.
It’s in those rough patches that we might want to cut ourselves some slack — give ourselves the room and space to grieve, get upset and move through the range of emotions that may come up so that we can heal.
What we don't need when we’re working stuff through or out is our own contempt or critiquing.
Instead, we need to provide some breathing room, and a little bit of compassionate space for us to simply catch our breath and calm our nervous systems, so we can approach things with calm and curiosity instead of judgment.
From my heart to yours, please be more gentle with yourself - extend some grace and tenderness to yourself because as we all know the world could use more of that.
