“I’m still blooming. And so are you. We don’t need to judge ourselves in the process.”
Last week I recorded two episodes in one sitting (thinking they’d be one), so now it’s time to post the second part.
As I was talking about the value of showing the unpolished process of our lives, I thought of all the mistakes I make, both public and private. I used to feel awful when I made any kind of significant mistake. It would really take a hit on my worth for a bit.
But over the years, and especially since doing the work of owning my worth, I’ve learned a new way to handle making mistakes.
Without realizing it, I noticed I have a 7 step process I go through when I’m handling a mistake to keep my sense of worth intact.
It’s been very effective for me and I go to it almost automatically now when I mess up.
I jotted it down to share and I’d love to hear your thoughts on it. Do you also feel your worth taking a hit when you mess up? What have you noticed makes you reclaim your worth after?
