Do you talk to yourself? What do you say? I will walk to a place and back and forget to pick up what I was looking for. I’ll say, “You dummy!” That seems to be my favorite phrase.
Is yours worse than that? Do you say it too often?
The Irish poet John O’Donohue wrote a line found in his book, To Bless the Space Between Us: A Book of Blessings,
Be excessively gentle with yourself.
Treating ourselves gently helps us develop the habit of gentleness. We can expand that to the way we approach others. Gently.
