How often do you congratulate yourself? How often do you really stop and pat
yourself on the back and feel proud of your achievements?
After a conversation with a beautiful friend today, I was really struck by this notion.
When I asked how she was, she said “Loving life. Really proud of myself at the
moment.”
It stopped me in my tracks.
“Good on you babe,” I thought, my heart filling up.
“Good on you, not just for kicking goals, but for knowing it and giving yourself the
credit you deserve!”
It’s so nice to hear an amazing woman say they are proud of themselves! I am
adopting this!
I am kicking goals.
How come I’m not proud of myself?
I’m doing at awesome job at life. Yet it seems I am the Virgo for whom nothing is
ever good enough.
And thus my theme for Yin Yoga class tonight was born today…. and my personal
mantra moving forward.
I’m proud of you
I love you

best we can.
