If you’re even remotely introspective, which most of us are, you occasionally think about the decisions you’ve made in the past and what they say about YOU as a person. I’m in a season of silence and slowness where I’ve had no choice but to look at the recurring bad designs I’ve made in the last year and I’m realising that I keep falling into this cycle of shame, defeat and self-pity when I look at how I’ve fumbled (over and over). So, I’ve started to think about my thinking processes and how they led me into situations that left me very poor options and inevitable bad decisions. This one is very anecdotal and very long (both unintentional), but I hope that you can sink in and maybe think about how you reflect on your own decisions and how you can reverse those potentially toxic shame patterns into opportunities to grow your mind and spirit…both of which are the foundations (actually) of our identity!
