Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites - Are You Guilty of Beating Yourself Up?

“Please be nicer to my friend.”

Those were words that came out of my mouth during a conversation with someone whose husband is in hospice. For the past two months, she’s continued to try to juggle running her business, chairing an important committee, working to create a session at an upcoming conference, all while coordinating her husband’s care between the visiting hospice team and the staff at his nursing home. She felt she had dropped a ball and was beating herself up for not being able to handle everything perfectly.

Can you relate? Does this sound like you at times, too – a big personal issue trying to co-exist with your work and volunteer responsibilities?

Jugglers drop a ball all the time – it’s how they become better jugglers. Your life isn’t a bunch of balls you’re trying to keep aloft, and when it starts to feel that way, instead of beating up on yourself, ask for help. Let friends and co-workers know what you’re dealing with and give them the privilege of helping you.

And if you find yourself beating up on yourself, I’ll say this to you, too…”please be nicer to my friend.”
