Love this. I've been learning self-compassion the last few months. I've spent the majority of my over 40 trying to live up to unrealistic expectations and am just starting to crack down those barriers to happiness. It's a long, slow, steady race, much like a marathon, of which I've run plenty (and not just the running variety). I aspire to be more like a tortoise, letting the hare go in many aspects of my life... sounds like you are too. Brava!
Your relationship with anything is your relationship with everything. Thanks for the post and reminder to be gentle with our writer selves.
You gotta get outta my head.
