Although things seem great on the surface, one of the things I think I've struggled with most since graduating from college in 2008 is striking the right balance between my inner child and becoming a responsible adult. Recently, I discovered a gem of a TV show on the CW called Emily Owens, M.D., that reminds me of first-season Greys Anatomy. The main character, Emily a.k.a. Dr. Owens, a huge geek in high school, draws parallels between her first year of medical residency and her teenage years. To make things worse, she matches at the same hospital as her high school arch nemesis and the boy she has a crush on sees her as "just a friend." No matter how old I get, I think I'll still be able to relate to this predictable but endearing storyline. Rumor has it that the CW is cancelling it, which breaks my heart, especially because the most recent episode had a couple great lines that I heard and immediately knew I'd be sharing with you.
As Emily berates herself, her adorable male coworker/friend/crush interrupts her by saying: "No one's judging your flaws except you."
Later on in the episode, as Emily is celebrating her birthday, she takes her friend's comment to heart. She says to herself:
Leave it to me to find inspiration from a soon-to-be-canceled sitcom. But there's something about this quote that really resonates with me. As I reflect on 2012 and start making plans for next year, "giving myself a break" is probably going to end up somewhere on my resolutions list this year."It's hard not to try and judge your flaws because we're aware of every mistake. We know our inner doubts, our hidden motivations. So my wish for next year is to be easier on myself. Focus less on the bad and more on the good. Really just give myself a break."
I mean think about it. It's so easy to hate on ourselves. Just today, I've had the following thoughts: my legs are gross and pasty (yes, I am still self conscious about my winter white legs), I need to tone up before I go on vacation in April, I wish I was a better cook, I should be spending more time being productive over my Christmas break than vegging out on trashy TV... the list goes on. We are always are own worst critics.
What are you most critical about? Have you found a way to cope with negative self talk?
I think you're doing just great Katie.
ReplyDeleteI'm most critical about my fluctuating weight, but that's easy fixed if I shut my mouth a little more.
I would love to vegg out a little more with trashy TV, but I seem to be too busy and I don't work anymore. I don't know how I ever had time to work!!
You are kind, caring, intelligent and talented so tell 'negative self talk' to take a leap!
x ;)
Love this post! Don't know how I missed it. You know a little about what I went through as a teen and all the self doubts I still have. I, too, still have a hard time looking at my white legs!!! You will pick up where this show leaves off- no doubt. Love the quotes.
