Is it okay to be human?

I often use the term human, which reminds me to be gentle with myself and others.

Instead of calling those in power governor, supervisor, or father, which can lock me into a set of expectations (and the subsequent emotions, which accompany unmet expectations), I see them as humans, doing their fallible best in each moment.

As humans, we all make so-called mistakes on a regular basis. When we see ourselves in a forgiving light, we can appreciate the off-key notes that bring humor to the song.

Wellness Tool:

Use the term human when referring to yourself and others, which will allow you to laugh through your mistakes (instead of cutting yourself down at every imperfection).
