The challenge – finding the balance between being hard enough on yourself so you take constructive action and not being so hard that you just feel paralyzed and thus do nothing. Awareness helps. So, check in on yourself when you find yourself beating yourself up. We respond okay to a harsh word but not to a verbal volley of abuses.
It is one of the toughest tight rope walks in that most amazing of balancing acts we call life.
If it is of any consolation, life is all about the balancing.. not about being balanced.
