“Humaning is really hard and we’re going to make mistakes sometimes. And so we can forgive ourselves. We can let go of that. We can shift it into guilt because usually when we’re into self loathing - that’s shame, we’re so far into who I am is wrong, not just what I do.
What we have to remember is every single one of us on the planet, even Gandhi and mother Teresa, have had a problem - they’re imperfect. We’re going to show up in ways that we don’t want to show up sometimes because we’re in reaction to human emotion, which is not something that robots are programmed to have to deal with. We have to deal with that.
So re-parenting ourselves, seeing that little piece of us, that little Christina, and having a conversation with her about things. I tend to be a lot more gentler than if I’m screaming at the woman in the mirror. ”
