I have been quite relax lately about my budget; yesterday and this morning I have taken the cab to the office (rather than walking or taking the bus).
The reasons were the followings: yesterday it was raining so I decided against walking; and today only because I felt like I needed to pamper myself and it was better to be at the office right away, as there were many things that I would like to work on.
There was a mental judo, of course; I was beating myself for getting relax with money, but then something inside me said “You only do what you think is best for you. Tomorrow is another day. Do not take this as a complete failure“.
How awesome to be able to say this and even more than that, to be able to hear them among all the chatter that goes in my mind 🙂
I remind myself that every once a while, things will not go ahead as I planned or wanted them to be. Every once a while there will be other things more important than my cab fare. I know that I can start taking the bus tomorrow, if I do not feel like walking at all. And I can go to bed early to make sure I will arrive my office early, too, so that I will not feel the push in the mornings.
Even though I do not make it tomorrow, I will try it later again.
I will be gentle on myself. That is my promise; why to break my own heart?
Be gentle to yourself.
Wise words. I think it is human nature to be harsh with yourself all the time. Kindness is best though ☺

Well seeing as I am my biggest critic, not great 😅 still, I continue to work on it. Coz I believe in kindness for others… so why not me, right? ☺

I feel the same way; I love it when I can be kind on others and time to time I remind myself to do better, yet I forgot to nourish myself with my kindness… I think being our own critique is also useful as it helps us to improve, but a kinder voice would be more effective and nice 🙂
