Nor is it required or desired. What if, instead of talking to ourselves with a critical and judgmental tone, we instead spoke to ourselves with kindness and acceptance? What if, *in* the moment we just acknowledged *the* moment for what it was, even if it wasn’t exactly how we'd planned, expected, or hoped for? What if we let ourselves off the hook? If we talked to ourselves like we talk to our children or best friends? What if, we reminded ourselves of our gifts and uniqueness, and welcomed all the ways we are faceted, imperfect, and full of light. We still sparkle, y’all. Shine on, warriors. 💎 #gracefulwarrior #asyouare #imperfection #selfacceptance #fulloflight #shineon
