So many of us measure our progress along the self love path by whether or not we have gotten rid of our WORST feeling stuff.
We measure our progress by judging ourselves against the expectation that if this path is really ‘working’ that we will be rid of our coping mechanisms, that we will have no more self sabotage, that our inner critic will be a full inner-friend and we will be fully transcended.
We have an idea in our head of who we are supposed to ‘become’ - this ideal version of ourselves - and we are constantly looking at ourselves and saying that we must not ‘be there yet’ so long as we aren’t BECOMING that ideal person.
We assume that if we are really doing it, that if this path is really working, we are going to finally be able to ‘fix’ all the things that are wrong with us, and we are going to finally unfold into that perfect butterfly we have in our minds that we are meant to become.
The reality is - this isn’t what the path is going to look like.
This isn’t what progress on the path looks like, and oftentimes what we think we are ‘supposed to become’ isn’t who we actually end up becoming.
So how do we actually measure our progress? If we aren’t getting rid of our worst stuff and becoming who we think we need to be - what’s the point?
That’s what we’re going to explore today.
What we actually get on the self love path vs. what we expect we are supposed to get on this path are often very different - and learning to adjust our expectations to match reality can be a hard thing to do.
Let’s see if we can make that a little easier today.
