Isn’t it a trip how we can have so much grace for other people when something goes not perfect, yet when it’s us that isn’t perfect we can be so unforgiving to ourselves. I’ve been trying to have more grace for myself and have found that telling myself “I’m only human” is helpful. And I don’t use it as an excuse to purposely do hurtful things, it’s a way to give grace when I truly meant no harm.
Yes! I think about this a lot, how I would treat myself if I were a friend I loved who was feeling really bad about causing or being part of some harm. "I'm only human" is my favorite way to address this - it is such a graceful attitude to have. And I think it helps me to continue to be sincere and true in offering grace to other people when I practice on myself. Love you so.
