Finding out how kind you are to yourself can prove to be enlightening in more ways than one...
i recently filled out this inventory and it turns out i am mean to myself like Miss Trunchbull is mean to Matilda
but secretly as i was filling out the scores i found myself gloating just a little - feeling like i was self righteous because i was so damn self abnegating
the moral of the story is martyrdom runs so damned deep in my veins
and my first instinct is to wage war on it
but because it is so deep within me i would just be waging war on my self
so i am choosing the self loving option
i am noticing
and i am making a different habit grow....
one kind step at a time
want to fill out the test too??
http://www.self-compassion.org/ then look on the list down the side to find self compassion inventory
Not too bad myself. I'm pretty nice to myself most days. But there is always work to do.
