What if I weren’t so hard on myself? I think I’d take twenty pounds off my shoulders if I let go self critical dialogue. How about you? We can be our own worse critics. All we have to do is listen to our self-directed language. It doesn’t have to be this way. Instead of being our personal critic, we can change and become our self appointed cheerleader. “Why did I do that” changes to “That was a nice try, you’ll do better next time.” You get the idea. I feel better already.
What If . . .

I am an optimistic, can do, and never quit guy. The spirit of hope indelibly marks my DNA. My research at The Ohio State University helped people discover the best in themselves and change their personal lives, public organizations, and whole communities. I bring the same spirit and enthusiasm to my blog to help those who grieve who find themselves suddenly alone, navigate their grieving. Join my more than 24,300Twitter (@alwaysgoodstuff).

Let’s begin by being kind to ourselves. 🙂
