One of the most impactful and life changing acts of love you can extend to yourself is replacing condemnation with compassion and exchanging resentment with reframing. For many of us, we struggle with forgiving others, moving forward from difficult seasons, and often dangle our struggles with the truth that life is a journey - an imperfect one at that. We will have seasons of consecutive wins but those seasons are often followed by seasons of life-altering losses. There will be times where we make situations exponentially worse by trying to fix them and other times where it will seem everything we touch turns to gold. There will be family and friends we would do anything in our power to protect, who will be the exact individuals we will find ourselves mentally, spiritually, and emotionally protecting ourselves from. No matter the season or how it appears, how we choose to reframe and redirect from life's hills and valleys will not only impact our destination but also the timing and levels of peace we experience while venturing there.
