Sharing one of my favorite TED talks which perfectly hits home. It talks about shame and fear and the common themes we dodge on a daily basis because we don't want to feel uncomfortable. Choosing this state will only make us feel unproductive, resentful, depressed. The people on the other spectrum - the happy bunch - are those who have the courage to accept that they are imperfect, and are able to treat themselves with kindness. This definitely strikes a chord and makes me realize how I shouldn't be so hard on myself. Time to lighten up and live a little!

"Because when we work from a place that says 'I'm enough', then we stop screaming and start listening. We're kinder and gentler to the people around us, and we're kinder and gentler to ourselves."
