Treating yourself like someone you love
So let's speak about the relationships we have with ourselves, right? I know for me personally, I am incredibly hard on myself.
Um, yeah, I have expectations for myself, um, in a way that I don't hold other people to the same standard.
And I think that can be a really tough place to be in if you treat yourself that way, right? Because if other people make mistakes, if other people, you know, do wrong and all that kind of stuff, there's always, you have an infinite well of compassion and empathy and forgiveness to pull from, you know, should that be the case for them and all of that kind of stuff.

You know, you're always just looking for the next thing and all that kind of stuff.
Certain achievements and accolades and stuff, because it's like, it's on to the next, it's on to the next.
