Focus on what you’ve achieved, not on what you haven’t. It’s so easy for us to dwell on our failures and shortcomings, but we rarely take the time to recognize our accomplishments – or when we do, we belittle them by comparing our current selves to our “normal” selves. Practicing kindness to ourselves includes accepting who we are, right now, and celebrating the small victories along the way.
Thanks for the reminder to try to stay positive, I tend to anger easy and then end up in tears trying to be the normal me.
