No matter how many times I’m told not to, I always find myself doing one or all of the following:
- being extremely critical of my own work
- expecting myself to be the ultimate example
- doubting my ability to overcome
- underestimating the power of my influence
- wanting to do things myself to maintain control
I don’t think I’ll ever be completely free of these habitual thoughts, but I’m going to make a promise to myself. Actually, a couple of promises – to execute for the upcoming year. I promise to:
- move forward, make mistakes, and try again
- be proud of every little thing I’ve accomplished
- remind myself that I’m capable of amazing things
- value the impact I have as a role model for my peers
- let go and trust that everything will be okay
