Yes! we do need to acknowledge that naturally "out---growing" something means we have grown! We have made progress and we should celebrate that. We should think about where to go next from that point on but, we cannot allow ourselves to over-emphasize our negative perceptions of ourselves and downplay the good... we have to have a balance between giving ourselves constructive criticism and being our own best friend as well. I am in the process of figuring out how to ACT on those words myself.
