As we finish the work week, take a few minutes to reflect on how you’ve done so far with being the change you wish to see in the world. Not later. Now. Close your eyes and think about how you have been in your interactions with others so far this week. Let go of judging yourself. Stop that mental chatter that tells you all kinds of stories, and just observe. Be a witness to yourself, not a judge. What shift(s) occurred, if any? How will you know change is happening? What result(s) do you seek? How are you getting in your own way? Breathe deeply, and then let go a little so you can grow into who you really are.
And most importantly, have mercy on yourself.
Thanks, Sharon! I was definitely judging myself most of the week–which decreased my effectiveness.
