In our own minds, so many of us think we are badass!

It’s true! We think that we can handle almost any situation: be brave, assertive and come out on top. But in fact, that may be far from the truth.

The truth is that many of us are not as attuned to who we actually are… and there is some degree of denial in the mix. We want to be perceived as ‘more than’ who we are, but in the process, may end up fooling ourselves as well. As a result, when we are confronted with a problem or difficult situation, we can be surprised and disappointed in how we actually responded, as it is miles away from how we thought we would have managed the situation.

It can thus be a bitter pill to swallow to let go of who you think you are or should be, and embrace the person you actually are. However, that is the most potent form of self-love and self-acceptance we can give ourselves, which truth be told, can be a daily struggle, but one that is worth the effort.

 

Throughout the day, we invite you to revisit this quote. Below are a few questions you may wish to ask yourself, and those who journal may find them especially useful:

• Who do I think I am?
• Who do I think I should be?
• Based on how I have handled situations and challenges, how different am I from which I think I should be?

 

 

Best wishes and have a great day!
