Practicing kindness

I’m practicing being more vulnerable.

Yup part of me squelches and squirms when I type that. Am I not already vulnerable and out there? The real answer is NO I’m not, I’m vulnerable in my internal world but on the outside and to the outside I’m this tough nut especially in a work context.

It’s a defense mechanism that no longer serves me. So I’ve chosen to let it go and try to show and share the authentic vulnerable, kind and soft me.

So I’m practicing kindness beginning with myself! If I can be softer in the world then perhaps I can do better work, resonate with others, connect have more empathy?

Who knows, it’s worth a try.
