Give yourself Some grace today.

Today, can you give yourself some grace?

It’s Just for today.

You aren’t where you wanna be yet.

And you never intended to go this wrong, I know.

But at least you now know way better than then. Knowledge is power. However, you may add knowledge is power with proper action. Furthermore, you will take appropriate action, Hun, I promise. At the right time, but please, give yourself some grace and a brake.

Nevertheless, often in life, we have wronged. Of course, that sucks, I know. And also, it’s hard to swallow.

But here’s the list of things that won’t take you anywhere but down:

• Being unforgiving of yourself
• Beating yourself up for your past mistakes
• Negative self-talk
• Blaming and judging yourself

So, what’s next?

There’s a beautiful word in Sanskrit.

MAITRI

It means being kind towards oneself while we are not yet where we want to be. Thus, it’s unconditional acceptance and loving kindness towards ourselves.

The practice of Maitri, either as a concept or as a meditation how it’s also practiced, can take you further than involving yourself in all the self-destructive and common behaviors named above.

For any reason whatsoever, we can encounter ourselves in unthinkable situations. It might be a divorce (after a long, forever after), the unexpected loss of a loved one, bankruptcy, or something we perceive as a personal tragedy. These are the moments when we need to practice self-compassion the most.

First,

We don’t know how to move forward. We are just as lost as we can be—and a little more. The road, the road can’t be seen from where we are, and it’s scary like hell.

Second:

At the same time, in our confusion and as a resistance to this perceived setback, we try to force ourselves into the “ideal place to be” right away. As counterintuitive as it may seem, we both don’t know what to do and want to do it all at once to arrive at the new favorable life situation. Of course, we get more frustration out of it.

I’m not saying you don’t need to take action.

Neither suggests it is not a severe situation.

Denying it can be scary and disheartening.

What it’s done, it’s done. It is often about learning to live in a new world or way. I’m not minimizing it.

I’m not doing any of that.

Above all, it is here where you are today.

Letting go of resistance to what already is because, let’s face it, it already is. This act of surrender can bring a sense of liberation and peace.

Surrendering to the present moment and accepting it as it is can be liberating. It’s about letting go of the need to control everything and learning to be at peace with what is, even if it’s not what we had hoped for.

Seeing yourself with loving kindness as you figure out a way and giving yourself some grace while you do so can show you the way more quickly than any other method. This perspective allows you to approach your challenges with a sense of understanding and forgiveness, which can be a powerful tool in your journey toward self-improvement.
