Hello AADO members,
Many of us can identify with feeling overwhelmed these days. How do we reconnect with the world and find that good old joy and inspiration – that feeling we once had? By forgiving ourselves for not being whom we think the world expects us to be. We are usually much harder on ourselves than others and can often be our own worst enemy. During difficult times we will say negative things to ourselves that can get in the way of our own success.
Following are tips that help me stay focused and positive:
1. Do not worry about being perfect, it’s perfectly okay to make mistakes.
2. Learn to be resilient in the face of disappointment. You will bounce back – promise!
3. Accept yourself, faults and all. Self-love is a good thing.
4. Let others hear your big ideas, they will be excited about your hopes and dreams.
5. Let criticism inspire you. Just wait until your critics see what you do next!
6. Never underestimate your talent.
7. Surround yourself with people who want you to be successful and you will be.
I encourage everyone to be forgiving of yourself and let go of the notion that you must be perfect.
