As we welcome in another beautiful week the team at Hayley and Kelly are reminded of how important it is to be kind to yourself. We can get lost in critique and wanting to improve who we are and what we do. However often where we are in the present moment is exactly where we need to remain. Placing restrictions and rules on the way we live our life can make us feel boxed in and can result in a large amount of negative self talk when we don’t conform to the boundaries we create.
Inviting a feeling of kindness and understanding to yourself, as you would to a child learning to walk or even to a new colleague learning the ropes of the office. Sometimes we don’t get things 100% right and that is OK! We need to appreciate that we cant be perfect all the time, and that things we do (in terms of activities we do, food we eat, how we spend out time) may suit us at one point but that could change over time.
Listening to what makes you happy and what fulfils you on a deeper level than simply striving and working towards goals mindlessly is so integral to our overall feeling of content. Demonstrate a softness in the way you speak to yourself and also how you nourish yourself. Remember that you are a unique, powerful and incredible person and deserve to be treated as such, especially by yourself!
We are all deserving of radical and empowering self love, and by demonstrating this to yourself it will gradually expand out to the other people in your life.
Much Love,
