Give Them a Break, Give Yourself a Break

Giving people a break had an unexpected side effect for me. I realized that I could give myself a break, too. I came down hard on people for making mistakes (sure it was character flaw!) and I felt really bad when I made one (same reason!). Now, I could see that they didn’t have to be perfect and I didn’t have to be perfect. For the first time in my life, it was easy for me to admit that I had made a mistake, figure out what I needed to do to keep from making it again, fix it, and move on.
