Happy Tuesday! Today’s message is simple: Be kind…to yourself! I also say this as a gentle reminder to myself! As I tell my clients, I don’t ask you to try anything that I haven’t already tried myself! You see, I am always a work in progress, constantly trying to learn how to take better care of myself. That way, I can better understand what my clients need, too.

Here are some suggestions to do when you catch yourself being unkind to yourself:

• Talk to yourself the way you would talk to a friend!
• Talk to yourself the way you would want someone to talk to you!
• Praise yourself for small victories the way you would for someone else!
• Gently encourage yourself when you are in doubt of your abilities!
• Give yourself the room to be human and to make mistakes! Expect them!
• Nudge yourself along with words of encouragement when the hill seems too steep to climb!
• REST! Your mind and body need recharging on a regular basis! Listen to the cues to pause!
• Be your own best cheerleader! Don’t wait for others to cheer you on first!

Just imagine how much calmer you’d feel each day if you were kinder to yourself! Give it a try this week!

You’ve got this!
