TOP 10 WAYS TO BE KIND TO YOURSELF

1. Take good care of your body, it's the only one you will every have. Eat well, exercise regularly, get enough sleep, etc. If you don’t know how to take good care of your body, consult your doctor, a nutritionist, a personal trainer, and/or a coach for help. Rule of thumb: when in doubt do what you will still feel good about tomorrow – that means forgo that second helping of ice cream! Good luck!

2. Take time to smell the roses. Appreciate the little things in life as well as the big. It may sound cliched, however, being mindful of the small joys of life will elevate your mood, reduce stress, and over time will reorient your whole attitude to a more positive outlook. So, find at least one thing each day to be happy about. As an added bonus, this practice will save you money too!

3. Keep telling yourself that you are as important as anyone else is until you truly believe it. If you already believe it, still say it!

4. Examine your feelings when you feel inferior or inadequate. Everyone has these feelings sometimes. Understanding why you sometimes feel this way will help you to know what changes you need to make in your life and attitude to change these feelings. Being aware of your emotional ups and downs and recognizing these are natural and generally transitory feelings, helps you to cut yourself some slack. If these feelings persist, get stronger, or you feel depressed consult a doctor or therapist.

5. Remember, it is perfectly natural not to be perfect all of the time. More than that, it is perfectly acceptable not to be perfect all of the time. If you put your best efforts forward, you have not failed.

6. Know your limitations and ask for assistance before you become overwhelmed. Strength comes from knowing when you need help and having the courage to ask for it. Surround yourself with a network of people whom you trust to support you and who can count on you in return.

7. Give yourself credit for a job well done. Celebrate successes even when they seem small. One hundred little successes are a very big deal. Think of all the fun you will have celebrating 100 times!

8. Don’t rush. We live in a busy world and it is easy to get caught up in the busyness around us. Give yourself peace of mind by “padding” your schedule. Leave yourself more time to complete tasks, arrive at a meeting and prepare for a presentation than you think you will need. Rule of thumb: Decide how much time you will need and double it; triple it if it is something you’ve never done before or aren’t sure of.

9. Cultivate your sense of humor. It’s pretty difficult to feel down while you’re laughing.

10. Take time every day to do the things you enjoy. Life is too short to live any other way!
