121: 5 Ways to Be More Kind to Yourself

121: 5 Ways to Be More Kind to Yourself

Ok, I’ll admit it… I was hard on myself last week.  HARD.

I have a lot going on and I let it get to my head.  Sometimes when we have too many things going on we feel we’re not doing any one thing really well.  That was me.  Just feeling all sorts of mediocre… AND super frazzled.

I had a pity party.  I even invited a few people to join me.  Luckily, they were kind and helped me get out of my head.  I also practiced KINDNESS toward myself.

Being kind to yourself is important.  No, it is crucial.  Especially when things are chaotic, frantic, overwhelming…

Here are 5 ways to be more kind to yourself when the going gets tough:

  1. Practice personal development, even if just for a few minutes
  2. Create ME time – especially when you don’t think you have it
  3. Catch yourself as you’re falling
  4. Move – sweat, if possible
  5. Ask for help
