This is oh-so wrong, but it makes me laugh so very hard.
It aptly sums up some of my days. I do my best to come from a place of compassion, forgiveness, and an open heart- then, BAM! Two steps forward, one step back. Such is life. Progress, not perfection, right?
In my inbox today:
What do you do when you’re unhappy?
Sit quietly for a few minutes and become mindful of your breath as it goes in and out. Then contemplate what you do when you’re unhappy or dissatisfied and want to feel better. Even make a list if you want to. Then ask yourself: Does it work? Has it ever worked? Does it soothe the pain? Does it escalate the pain? If you’re really honest, you’ll come up with some pretty interesting observations.

Love the Namaste, because whether we admit it or not we’ve all been there. Progress indeed – and the ability to be gentle with ourselves…

Your sense of humor is fantastic!
But seriously, you are on the right track. Keep it up, and as the above commenter said, be kind to yourself.

Thank you, ladies. Really, the person who usually frustrates me the most is me. I’m really forgiving with everyone else and really hard on myself.
