Are You A Kind Person… To Yourself?
LISTEN TO EP 04: ITUNES | SPOTIFY
My good girlfriend Ahyiana Angel from the Switch Pivot or Quit podcast educated me on the fact that this week is "Be Kind to Humankind Week.” It got me thinking… am I kind? And am I kind to myself? I’m going to help you unpack what being kind actually feels like and give you three approachable tips on how you can be kinder to yourself.
1. Invest in yourself (first thing in the morning)
I know… getting up in the morning is HARD. The realization that you’re starting yet another day without a loved one can be overwhelming and paralyzing. And social media can quickly pull us into the lives of others before we even have a second to think about ourselves. Start your day with 15-30 minutes for YOU.
My progress: Writing this down on a post-it for a reminder.
2. Schedule a laugh break
My new addiction is comedy radio: Kevin Hart’s Laugh out Loud Radio and Netflix is a Joke. I don’t even listen to music anymore… just laughs. Commit to 10 minutes— don’t get lost in a YouTube rabbit hole. But give yourself that release.
My progress: Already committed! Still have a post-it, though;)
3. Soften the voice of your inner critic
Personally, I’ve lowered the volume to about 2 or 3 because my inner critic is loud and she’s rude.
My progress: Actively working on it, post-it reminder, duh!
