Today, I realised that I judge myself to harshly. I am always striving for this perfection and (not surprisingly) always falling short. I have held this notion that the reason I fail is because I am not trying hard enough. I just need to get my head down, do a few more hours of work a night, get up a little earlier to fit a little more into my day, go for another run etc. And when I don’t, I beat myself up – mentally.
I call myself fat, stupid, ugly, I’m a horrible person, lazy, thick, I can’t cope (and I should be able to), weak, helpless, etc etc.
But I am wrong.
I need to start seeing that all of these expectations are mine and mine alone. If I change my attitude – get rid of all these stupid expectations of myself, then I will never fall short of them.
So today. And tomorrow. And until the day I die.

I am good enough.
