When we screw up or fall down, many of us talk to ourselves in ways that we would never talk to someone we love and respect.

You're such an idiot!
You're so stupid!
WTF were you thinking???

Talking to ourselves from self-love and self-respect is a practice. I used to feel super self-conscious and vulnerable saying kind things to myself: "It's ok. Everyone makes mistakes. You're going to be ok." But I'm getting better.

And, it's an amazing thing to model to our children. It's better for my kids to hear me walking around saying weird and loving things to myself when I drop a ball, than to hear me berating myself and copy that behavior.

Stay kind, brave, and awkward, friends!

We all make mistakes. Its inevitable. It's part of what makes us human. Unfortunately many of us are way too hard on ourselves. .

Instead of labeling ourselves as a "failure", making assumptions or jumping to conclusions, it can be helpful to ask ourselves: what can I learn from this? . . .
