Summary

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: Practice personal development, even if just for a few minutes Create ME time – especially when you don’t think you have it Catch yourself as you’re falling Move – sweat, if possible Ask for help Links Mentioned: Book: Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes Book: Love Warrior by Glennon Doyle Melton Book: The Desire Map By Danielle LaPorte Book: The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson Book: Daring Greatly by Brene Brown Sponsor: aaptiv.com (use code SMA30 for free 30 day trial) Learn more about your ad choices.
