Life is whirlwind of chaos, at some point all of us get twisted by the force of events that is not to be controlled by our will.
The past two months have been a series of massive life quakes…
Fashioned by bouts of tremors.
I teach professionally, and provide teaching services to community and family members as a passion project
I was not able to do as much academic mentoring as I projected with my niece.
I was not able to personally commit the hours I promised.
So, I outsourced the academic assistance.
Her exam performance was dismal-
She needed me. She has transitioned into a new environment. I should have been there more.
Strangely amidst my struggles, to count myself among those I am kind to seems a bit self indulgent.
I am not instinctively kind to myself I am learning.
Self- directed. Ambitious. Hard working people don’t need self directed kindness we need to amplify proficiency.
How to make more time?
How to get more done ?
I am resting. – (That is my practice of self-care)- maybe I need to stop this new practice.
My self-talk- it a lot more critical than kind.
As a human service professional (teacher)- I know for sure to never speak a student or a client negatively or critically who is given ½ the effort I am giving.
I understand instinctively, professionally and empathetically how I handle a human being and her effort in the midst of challenges has the potential to impact her for a life time.
Why am I not counting myself among those who need to be handled with CARE.
How do you practice * self-compassion
How do you direct compassion inwards?
