In our removing pesky thorns challenge this week, I've "failed" already πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈπŸ˜† My mind piped up telling me I "should" have gotten a lot more done this morning. It caught me for a while until I remembered this challenge (thank goodness!) and so I was unto it. "Thank you mind" and all is well. This returns me to the present moment, what's real and helpful now vs imaginary mind projections of the past.

Giving myself the grace to avoid comparison. Instagram makes that a challenge. I'll take it on!

I read/heard somewhere of shifting the comparison habit to comparing myself as I am today to where I was in the past. Way more useful!

Do share later in the week how giving yourself the grace to avoid comparison goes. What difference it makes to be "onto it"

I’m going to practice not believing my inner critic when it blames and shames me this week.

Looking forward to hearing your discoveries of what happens when you practice not believing your inner critic this week

Letting go of judgement (in both direction) would make the biggest difference at this very moment as it contributes to considerably more than just judging, generating a spiral of negative thoughts and other aspects that interfere with my ability to constructively overcoming challenges..

It's a hard nut change - I'll work on making it 1% better this week using reflections and journalling to get a grip on it.
