Being kind to yourself

Take a moment today to reflect on some of your inner voices over the last few days.

How do they reflect on you?

Where they kind?

Were they said with patience?

Often, we get caught up with negative affirmations and forget the positive.

Myself after dropping a glass..

“Oh, I am such a klutz, I’m always dropping things”

Instead, recognizing that there were extenuating circumstances around the issue.

My mind was elsewhere or the glass was wet.

I know I don’t always drop things but I do know from time to time, I need to be more present, which in the end will help me be more aware.

Being hard on ourselves, is the first thing most of us do.  It’s not valid to tear ourselves down yet, if it was directed at family or friends, we would encourage and reassure.

Remember, being kind to yourself is as important as being kind to others.  Start reframing your mind, your thoughts.
