SO HARD ON OURSELVES

I am the first person to correct someone when they talk about themselves in a negative light. For example: Someone may say, "I am so stupid". After they make a minor mistake or error. Or someone may say, "I look so ugly today". When really they just feel ugly on the inside. I am always finding myself correcting people and telling them not to talk badly about themselves because if we should love anyone above all others, it should be ourselves.

Yet.......Although I don't call myself names or doubt my intelligence by calling myself stupid. I do beat myself up in other ways. Like if I get a 90 instead of a 100. Or if I forget someones birthday. Things like that. I need to practice what I preach on a higher level. I suppose it's not always about the words we use to describe what we think about ourselves. But it's also about being hard on our achievements. I try. What more can I expect from myself? I'm going to work on that.
