Be Kind To Yourself

by

At times it is hard to be kind to ourselves. We frequently apply negative self-talk, personal insults, and judgments against ourselves without a thought of extending a compassionate inward glance. Today, let’s make all self-talk positive. Instead of criticizing our actions, let’s praise our effort. If we fail, let’s applaud our willingness to shake it off and get going again. The short YouTube video provides a wonderful example of how jumping to judgment leads to wrong conclusions with others and with ourselves.

 

Look Back With Kindly Eyes

by
 Look back on Time, with kindly eyes —
He doubtless did his best —
How softly sinks that trembling sun
In Human Nature’s West — by Emily Dickinson
Now that I am dancing alone, when I pack for a flight, I try to keep it light and simple. I take all I need in one carry-on and my backpack. When my carry-on is full, it’s full and that’s it. Everything else stays behind. It’s easier that way. I don’t have to check baggage. I easily pass through TSA. Okay, I get a pat down now and then. I have to remove my shoes and belt. You all know the drill. After I pass through security, I go to Starbucks, get a coffee and head to the gate. I’m relaxed and ready to enjoy my flight and destination. Traveling alone is a teacher.
I’m learning to “Look back on Time, with kindly eyes.” The poet Emily Dickinson had it right. I’m learning to pack only good memories, and consider the rest excess baggage. I can look back and know, “He doubtless did his best.” I think knowing I did my best is a good thing. All the would have’s and could have’s and should have’s are excess baggage I’ve discarded. Here’s hoping you “Look back on Time, with kindly eyes,” too.
