Self compassion, I find, is often a difficult practice for people because so much resistance shows up at first. When you begin to show yourself more love, sometimes you realize how you didn’t get what you needed, or were conditioned to forget your basic worthiness, and that can evoke grief, too. Start at the edges and work your way back to your own heart.❤️
“Pausing feels like guilt." I know that one well. Decades of building taught me hustle, and this chapter is teaching me that the work should take care of the worker too. Thank you for the reminder to put ourselves on the list.

Building at a pace you can actually sustain is the real competitive advantage. Restraint reads as strategy once you've earned it.
