Journey to self-love

I never realized how mean I can be to myself. And until this point I never cared to take note how extremely hard I can be. After all, it’s gotten me an advanced degree, great career positions, from fat-to-fit-to-fat-to-fit, and out of an insane health scare. Just about everything I’ve accomplished in life has been because I self-loathed my way to the top.

I realize now that it’s all coming from a place of not feeling good enough. Believing that I need to prove to myself and other people that I can do it. Yet after reaching the goal, I still felt incomplete. The goal post moves. The inner critic who says “that’s just what you were supposed to do; move onto the next”. 

Now I’m on a new mission to get on my own side–to nurture the relationship with myself with the same passion I nurture my relationship with others. To learn what I want, learn what my needs are and ultimately get back in touch with myself. 

I’m sharing this in hopes that there’s a few others out there who feel the same. And as a coach, hoping that I can connect with others who feel the same so we can embark on the journey together.
