In the previous episode, the topic of focus was the myth of being normal. Today’s episode further explores this myth and how it shows up in daily life. We often strive to be different from who we are at any given moment, but self-love isn’t about attaining our internal idea of “perfection.” Self-love is knowing that no matter what, you can forgive and accept without expectation.
Having high expectations of yourself is okay, but perhaps you can find some room to loosen up. Where you are right now is just fine and normal. In fact, there are as many versions of “normal” as there are people on the planet. It all comes back to trusting that who you are and how you are is enough.
