Let Go of the Guilt
In the words of Oprah – you can have it all, just not all at once
self-compassion
You are only human.
Write down a list of everything you are trying to do. All the things that don’t usually go on your to do list.
Speak kindly to yourself
We are our own worst enemy. We speak to ourselves in ways we would never speak to a good friend.
When did you last treat yourself?
Do treats need to cost anything? What makes you smile, what makes you happy?
