Changing Heartworker,

I love self-help.

Working on yourself is awesome.

But not if it’s a punitive, mean way.

Self-help is not fun when the goal is to “fix” brokenness.

That can be hard, slogging-though-the-mud work.

What if you’re not a problem that needs to be solved?

That’s how I used to think of myself.

One day, I realized I was an imperfect, precious human with a normal human brain.

You can decide to accept yourself exactly “as is”.

That’s when “working on yourself” becomes easier.

And, even super fun sometimes!

That’s the Paradox of Change.

100% self-acceptance.

Yet, still wanting to change and grow for the fun adventure of it.

That’s when the changes you want become so much easier to create.

With love and appreciation,
Maritza
