Mantras For The Reston Us

 Sometimes when I make a mistake I can let it slide- it’s small and I’m human. Then at other times the MISTAKE feels too big, too overwhelming, like I fucked up so big that I want to get into the fetal position and cry. It takes me right back to my childhood self - alone and unprotected full feelings of being unworthy of love and help.
 
 I made a big blunder today. I didn’t hurt anyone it was just inconvenient and made work for someone else. Ugh!
 
 That person made calming space for me and it made all the difference. In helping me calm myself.
 
 Sometimes shit happens and there is nothing we can do about it. Or at least it can feel that way. It’s good to remember that that shitty thing doesn’t define you or determine your worth.
 
 We get to decide how we will respond and move through it. It takes practice and looks like breathing and reminding myself/yourself who you are and the truth of the situation...
 
 *all is well, all is well, all manner of things are well
 *this to shall pass
 *everyone makes mistakes
 *mistakes are human
 *mistakes are normal
 *I will be okay
 
 People make mistakes
 People fuck up
 
 You get to decide how it effects your self worth and sense of self.
 
 There is nothing that makes you unlovable -NOTHING!
 
 Love,
