Why do we tend to be so hard on ourselves? You’re already going through a tough situation, and yet you expect yourself to “achieve” at the same pace as you did when you didn’t have all the same responsibilities you have now. Life changes, situations change, and so you can’t expect the same results and level of productivity through all the different seasons of your life.
We’ve been talking about grief this month. If you’re going through any sort of life transition or challenging season of life, there’s some degree of grieving involved. Grieving the loss of something as you rebuild your life in a new way. There’s nothing easy about this process. It’s full of emotions, triggers, memories, dreams, desires, and fears. So, if you’re going through something like this right now, ask yourself this question: In what ways can I move through this situation with self-compassion?” Comment below to share your response with me for individualized support & accountability. I read and reply to every comment myself; I want to hear from you! P.S. I led a free workshop last week called “3 Steps To Go From Grief To Peace.” Contact Me and I’ll send you the Replay Oh, and one more thing, if you know someone who could use this message today, then share this post... It’s hard to process an emotion like grief. But, giving a name to the emotion is the first step. Taking a moment to acknowledge and have a name for it is powerful. This process begins to create space between you and the grief. Because you are not the grief, rather it’s an emotion you’re feeling and experiencing right now. So, let’s break it down a little further here today… Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, in her book On Grief & Grieving, outlines 5 stages of grieving. She makes a very clear distinction that, while these 5 stages exist, you don’t necessarily go through these stages in order. Also, there’s no set amount of time that each stage will last. For example, it’s not like you’ll go through the first stage for 2 weeks, then the 2nd stage for the following 2 weeks, and so on. It’s different for everyone. And yet, having an awareness of these stages is empowering. It helps you understand what you’re going through and, thereby, offer yourself compassion through the process. Here are the 5 stages: 1. Denial “This can’t be happening…this isn’t happening” 2. Bargaining “Maybe if I do _____, then things will be different” 3. Anger Anger towards the situation, another person, or towards self 4. Depression Feelings of sadness 5. Acceptance Acknowledging the loss and coming into a new way of being I’m leading a free workshop this week where you’ll dive deeper into understanding these 5 stages, identify which stage you’re in now, and create a plan to move forward with self-compassion. *Can’t make it Live?
