Focusing on the positive and appreciating all of the good choices I’ve made during these times of difficulty and challenge is a good start. I also need to be honest with myself and aware of areas I could’ve made better choices or pushed myself more. I can struggle at times finding the right balance between self care and mediocrity.
I realized this week, less than ideal choices, and the lack of motivation or discipline are actually helping me to foster and further expand my capacity for empathy and compassion. This is because I have compassion for myself and I make myself a priority, allowing for patience and grace. And sometimes I can take that a bit too far and not always make the best or most productive choices, but all in all it’s a learning experience. Through all of this I am building awareness and learning as I go.
As compassion for myself grows, compassion for others grows as well, which I realized also helps me to be a less judgemental and a more empathetic and understanding human being.
I love the insight and clarity that the process of blogging provides!
