“Why can’t you support me???”
These few days I had to complete a small project, I completed it on Wed (super proud of myself!), so on Thurs, I said to myself, “Hey! Let’s make another video!”
My brain started criticizing every idea that I came up with.
“What is this you’re trying to say anyway?”
“You haven’t ironed out the idea yet.”
I made a video, but didn’t end up posting it.
This morning, while I was brushing my teeth, I let some silent screaming, and kept asking my inner critic:
“Why can’t you just support me???!!!!”
As that breath of air rushed from my lungs, through my throat and out my mouth..
Images of my mom criticizing me flashed through my brain..
I knew where my inner critic came from.
And I had to be the one to reparent myself.
Sometimes we may feel disappointed that the people in our lives aren’t supportive of us.
Other times, we may be the ones minimizing ourselves and our efforts.
I just want you to know. Take a look back, and see how far you have come.
You’ve come very far already.
I want you to know that I’m very proud of you.
This is the comic I was talking about.
Sending you lots of love
