…Or more protein powder in my shake, or more of something external to enhance my slow performance on my Peloton bike.

Then I heard myself.

I was looking for an external fix to something that meant today I would be a little slower and perform at a different pace, in accordance with my body. With that realization, I could let myself be what I needed right then.

A slow day doesn’t make me slow. A wish for an outside fix seems normal enough. However, I just needed to accept what was true for me at that moment.

How often do we shame ourselves rather than accept where we are? Give ourselves credit for showing up and doing our best, not for all time, but for today?

Do you wish you had an external fix for something happening in your life? Silver bullets are rare and usually a one-time fix. Accepting yourself exactly as is with gratitude and appreciation will get you further than shaming yourself or relying on external fixes.

My clients work to find their strengths, how to lead with them, accept what is and what is not in their make-up for a day or ever, and move forward with a sense of accomplishment regardless of performance.

Could you benefit from this approach? If so, let’s chat. A discovery call is only a click away.
