Creating is shown to keep us emotionally well & mentally sharp. This tee is a quick make that's useful & supports my mental health - to see the results of my efforts - especially when work is heavy. Happy to have found the perfect purpose for this denim wool & silk mohair following the Tee-ser pattern by 🧶

I've been thinking about how we measure success. I've been challenged to measure it by listing my value not based solely on accomplishments, while also celebrating my accomplishments.

The thing about healing from traumas focused on achievement is that you get "love" because you've achieved, but then it is also never enough, and sometimes compared to others, or the bar is constantly raised. So you don't celebrate achievements. It's an issue if "never enough."

What if, instead, the focus on reparenting me is that I don't have to accomplish to be worthy I exist and thrive by learning to use innate strengths?

I believe "accomplishments" & "success" naturally follow when we are instead pursuing a value driven life using our innate strengths.

Today I posted publicly a list of my accomplishments, so I could feel more comfortable celebrating them because, the reality is that what I have accomplished to date is also me.

Now, I'm focused on transformative healing, returning to the me I put aside in pursuit of "accomplishments." They will learn to coexist, more balanced.

How do you view success & accomplishment?
