I love the sunshine but I found this week’s heat exhausting and oppressive. Someone I was talking to told me they found it energising. This was a good reminder that our experience can be so very different. We can struggle with things others find easy. It doesn’t mean we are worse than them, just different. However, often when we compare, we do so judgementally. Are we better or worse than others? If we see ourselves as worse, we can beat ourselves up about it. Perhaps instead we could recognise these differences, without judgement. Then, rather than criticising ourselves when we struggle, we could try taking care of ourselves instead.
