If you're anything like me, you have a lot of things you beat yourself up over. It might be your appearance, your skills in a particular area, something about your personality, a bad habit. Whatever it is, that critical little voice in your head won't let you have any rest over it.
For me, there are plenty of things I could be kinder to myself about. My weight is a big one. I've made huge strides in recent years to accept that I'm always going to be big. But I still wish I wasn't, and I still have moments where I look in the mirror and will heap scorn on myself. I'm still trying to lose weight. I'm also down on my skills in web design, after they've stagnated for years. Work didn't challenge me to keep improving or to stay up to date with things, and it's all lapsed. Even when I was at my best, I was already full of imposter syndrome, and now it's even worse. And I have a tendency to compare myself unfavourably to people who ARE staying current in skills… like many of you. And finally, the little voice in my head isn't good at letting me rest. There's a lot of stuff I need to do, but I could be a little gentler with myself. Some things are not going to explode if I have a little break from time to time. ____________________ Tarale.net |
