Looking back, I realize the importance of self-compassion. It's a choice how we talk to ourselves, and I wish I had been more aware of this earlier on. I would have acknowledged the challenges I faced and recognized that it didn't define me as a person.
In addition, I would have spoken out more about how I was feeling. Often, shame keeps us quiet because we think everyone else has it all figured out. But the truth is, everyone struggles at some point in their career. By speaking out and sharing our experiences, we can break down these barriers and create a more supportive work environment.
So, if I could do it all over again, I would practice more self-compassion, acknowledge my challenges, and speak out about my experiences. #SelfCompassion #CareerGrowth #OvercomingChallenges
