Find Your Kinder Voice

01/17/2020

Remember, you have been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.
Louise L. Hay

Brene Brown, in her book, Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love Parent and Lead (2012) writes: “Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.”

One of the articles in the book, Leading Early Childhood Programs (part of the Art of Leadership series), encourages early childhood leaders to practice becoming “intentional in our self-acceptance,” so we won’t be afraid to let ourselves be seen. Self-acceptance often stems from becoming more aware of that “critical voice” in our head and “asking it to be much kinder.”
