It’s #mentalhealthawarenessweek and the focus this year is on #kindness. I think you’ll agree that we’ve seen some wonderful acts of human kindness as people go to great lengths to support loved ones, and local communities.
How can we take some of that inspiration and extend those levels of kindness to ourselves?
Often we forget to focus that generosity, forgiveness and compassion inwards. Instead we are more accustomed with berating ourselves, beating ourselves up and denying ourselves the gentle approach we are so well practised in sharing with others.
If doing something kind for yourself is too hard today, start by saying something kind.
'I like you'
'You're a good person'
'I forgive you'
'You are enough'
'It is ok to not be ok'
'I love you'
