We must be aware of our thoughts when it comes to judging and evaluating ourselves. We beat ourselves up by saying things to ourselves that we would never say to a child.

Instead, we can remember:

We are doing the best we can.

This is a mantra I would suggest that you go and write down and say over and over: I am doing the best I can.

(By the way, you actually can ask your sources of higher guidance to slow down the soul learnings a bit. Remember, that at some level, your Higher Self likely asked for this in your soul contract, but of course contracts can be changed!)

One way we can continue to learn and grow (to become the best versions of ourselves) yet also be kind, loving and gentle to ourselves is to treat ourselves like we would a child.

We would never say to a child, “You’re not good enough. You’re screwing everything up.”

We might say instead, “I love you. You’re a wonderful person with such a big heart. What did you learn from that situation? Maybe you wished it had gone better, but you can always try again next time.”
