Yes, Kindness to Self… Matters! 

This week was a tough one. When self-criticism and doubt tried to creep into my thoughts, I showed myself kindness and recited the following mantras: 

“I can handle whatever comes my way.”

“I am resilient.”

“It’s okay to say no.”

Kindness to self involves self-compassion and self-care. When we are kind to our minds, we allow ourselves to identify and accept our limitations. We become more aware of our thoughts and feelings, leading to positive well-being and improved mental health. We are more equipped to handle challenges, make sound decisions, and empathize with others. 

Leadership Tip: Choose a phrase or mantra that resonates with you. Repeat your mantra regularly, especially in moments of self-doubt. Be gentle with your mind, practice self-compassion, and prioritize your mental well-being.

In a few days, I will share how I show myself kindness.

Keep going, keep growing, keep glowing… thank you for reading,
