Lead With Self-Kindness

You deserve to treat yourself like a friend, especially in moments when you miss the mark. Today, we reflect on the intention: “I will be kind to myself.” Written by Tiana Brawley, M.S.W.

Takeaways:
1- Self-kindness means having a deeper acceptance of yourself in the present moment.
2- We can greet our inner critic with curiosity instead of giving it all our power.
3- Practice taking the mic from your inner critic and speaking to it with self-compassion.
