Sometimes, there feels like a yawning gap between how I’d like to be and how I actually am. Turns out this isn’t unique to me - apparently none of us are perfect, and so fall short of how we’d like to behave/respond/live our lives.
So what do we do about it? I’m trying to rest my Stick (the metaphorical instrument I use to beat myself up with). Learn a new way of being with myself. Be a bit more forgiving of myself. Focus on how well I do instead of where I miss the mark. Sometimes I need a hand - the old ways of doing things are easy to fall back into, our ‘default’ modes of operation. But I’m smart, and skilled and not on my own... it may take some time - but I’ll get there :)
