There is only one person you spend your whole life with, and that is yourself. If you aren’t okay with you, then there’s an issue.

It feels like we grow up behind the eight ball. Our parents (well-meaning I’m sure) “mentor” and “guide” us in a way that can leave us feeling judged and dismished. We’re also graded by teachers and compared to our fellow students. This carries on in our jobs, where managers review us once or more a year. My favourite therapist says that we end up “internalizing” that “parental” voice and continue critiquing ourselves. Yuck. Not much warm and fuzzy about that. Supposedly, if we can remain aware of that hard driving voice within, we can change our thoughts and have a positive impact on how we feel about ourselves. Just sayin’ :) Hugs.
