DAY 21: deploying non-judgmental observation with the magical phrase "and that's okay."
“I didn’t see what was happening, and that’s okay.”
“I wish I had said no sooner, and that’s okay.”
“I’m judging myself again, and that’s okay.”
We want to REDUCE ANXIETY so that our brain space is freed up to think creatively about how to set the boundaries we need.
When we say, “I’m having a rough day, and that’s okay,” we’re reducing anxiety. We’re accepting without judgment. And then we can go forward with the choices we need to make.
Today’s prompt: practice “and that’s okay.” You might go back through your journal entries and look for a instance where you felt some disappointment or frustration with yourself. Give yourself a nice round of “and that’s okay.”
