What You Need to Hear

What do you hear yourself say to friends, loved ones, and patients

that when you pause and think,

you realize this is exactly what YOU need to hear yourself?

.

Do you give others much more grace and compassion than you give yourself?

.

Do you encourage patients, children, and friends to be kind to themselves?

To be proud when they do something well?

Take a break?

Enjoy the moment?

Let go of perceived slights go?

Forgive and try again if they didn’t get it right?

Remember they are human?

What if you did this for yourself also?
