Stop Beating Yourself Up!
By admin on Aug 20, 2008 in - Wealth-Being -
In the past couple of weeks, I’ve noticed that people seem to be having trouble focusing, keeping on track, and “getting anywhere.” Each one I speak with is surprised that it seems like a general trend, and not “just them.”I don’t know how we can think it’s just us.
Think of floating down a huge river. It’s got flotsam and jetsam, it’s got whirlpools and eddies and backwaters, it’s got clear smooth runs and terrible white water around and over rocks, and shallow places where it’s fun to ride downstream on inner tubes.
Why do we think we can possibly be in control 24/7? Stop blaming yourself or others when you get caught in whirlpools and eddies!
Be kind to yourself when that tree passing you by in the water bonks you on the head. And don’t beat your self up for missing that beach where you could have had a lovely picnic–there will be another one!
Have you noticed how many times we blame ourselves? Beat ourselves up? “I should have….” “I could have….” Pleagh!
Just stop! Instead, breathe, and then ask yourself, “what would I prefer?”
Assess what’s going on, and then ask, “what’s the next step?”
See how blameless and simple that is?
Stay away from all this “why is this happening,” or “I must have created this, so what else should I have done” stuff. OK, maybe you really did ‘create’ that–so? What would you prefer? What’s your next step?
We blame ourselves and beat ourselves up constantly–no wonder we walk around in pain with big bruises head to toe!
Knock it off! You deserve kindness, room to simply BE, and the space to make choices that feel good to you and your soul.
Each time you hear yourself go into, “why did I do that?” or “why haven’t I had any successes all year,” know that those are unrpoductive questions.
Ask yourself “what would I prefer? What’s my next step?” Your bruises will go away, and the success you choose for yourself will appear like magic–whatever success looks like for you.
