This Aloha Friday, dive into a little self-love. It’s harder to be happy if you bog yourself down with personal criticism and critiques. Self-evaluating your actions, motives, abilities, and decisions is a healthy attribute, but obsessive analysis stunts the love and respect you deserve.

Let go of judgment and give yourself a break today. This world can be super competitive, but to consistently compare yourself to others puts unnecessary obstacles on your own path. When you find yourself leaning toward self-scrutiny, nurture your mind, body, and soul. Find pride in your accomplishments, accept your current shortcomings, find gratitude for all you have. If you aren’t where you’d like to be in life at this moment—know with the right mindset and positive action you can propel yourself to the heights you wish to achieve.

Breathe easy, you’re doing a marvelous job!
