Remove the rocks from your backpack

When I thought back on certain things I've said and done in my career, sometimes I would cringe.

I can see a lot of the Toxic Professionalism that fueled my mistakes.

I gave into the fear of scarcity that fueled my competitiveness.

I gave into the fear of not being good enough that fueled my perfectionism.

I gave into the fear that I had to keep everyone happy that fueled my masking.

But I forgive myself.

I am not the person I was 10 years ago. 5 years ago. 1 year ago. Yesterday.

I am wiser. I am more self-aware. I still make mistakes. And I recognize that who I was in those moments help make me into who I am now...and proud to be.

Let's forgive ourselves for the mistakes we've made, the actions we took out of fear, and be grateful to learn from those moments.

Guilt is like a backpack of rocks we carry around. 🎒🪨😮‍💨

Give yourself the gift of forgiveness.

Feel the weight of those rocks lifted with each mistake you forgive yourself for.

And move forward without that heavy burden. 😌
