To be clear, I'm not against this idea, but the phrase is commonly used but seldom explained. One of the most common (and confusing) mantras I see? "Give yourself grace." Just scrolling through wellness accounts and hashtags on social media, you can get inundated with energy-boosting recipes, restorative yoga posts, and inspirational mantras to help you address burnout and chronic stress. In my work as an anti-burnout speaker and expert, I've seen and heard it all when it comes to possible solutions for managing burnout. Allowing yourself grace in this manner is the means by which you bask in the grace of God who understands your mistakes and failings, and who has already covered over those sins.When you’re stuck in a tough spot at work-you’re *this close* to burnout, you’re wondering whether your job is the right fit, your office culture could use a serious upgrade-who do you turn to? Your mentor, who has years of experience you can rely on? Your mom, who always keeps your best interests in mind? Or your BFF, who is dependable for a killer pep talk? Put all three perspectives in a blender, and you’ve got Well+Good’s career advice column. When you allow yourself grace by remembering that God's favor rests upon you, those negative thoughts and emotions will not overtake, but will help you to press pause in order to pray and reflect. You know, those times when you are in a volatile situation and you can feel yourself spiraling and you decide, well I'm in deep now, I'll just keep sinning. By respectfully walking away from a situation in order to prevent hurt or regret, you are avoiding what I like to call the "cheating on a diet syndrome".
By action I mean that if you know you are about to lose your temper or that a situation you are in is going to quickly escalate and you will fall into sin, walk away in order to regroup, pray and to remember God's grace which HE has given to you. Biblically, this does not mean justifying your behavior, but assessing your emotions in a particular situation and taking action.
Another phrase that seems to go in tandem with "give yourself grace" is " allowing yourself grace".
