Hello my friends! How is your day so far? How are you feeling? I am still trying to get more sleep at night but it just seems like no matter what I do, I can't sleep as much as I would like to and you all know how important my sleep is to me.
So as I scrolling through my Facebook feed this morning, I came across a video from Mel Robbins and it was the exactly the words that I needed to hear. Mel said "the #1 was to improve your life is to be kind to yourself."
Now, I know that and I also wrote about that but when you are so sleep deprived its even harder to follow your own advice. But I know that my every day mantra has to include being kind to myself. I need to take care of myself.
With everything else we have to remember these days like wearing a mask, sanitizing, cleaning, working, taking care of kids, teaching kids, dealing with social injustice and all else, we so easily forget that we need to first be kind to ourselves.
Friends, you need to make you a priority. As I woke up this morning, my mental chatter was not saying kind things to myself. I really was beating myself up. But then as I watch Mel Robbins video, it was perfect timing to remind myself that I need to only speak kindly and with love to myself. Nothing else will be accepted.
No matter what you have going on, please be kind to yourself. Whenever you hear your own inner voice not being gentle to yourself, stop it immediately. Turn it around with only loving words. You need to notice it, stop it and turn it around.
I also like leaving notes for myself daily as a reminder to be kind to myself. That's a great way to remember especially if you are feeling overwhelmed and stressed. Keep going back to your notes and reviewing it and reading it out loud to yourself.
Be kind my friends. Don't beat up on yourself no matter what happens. Speak and think only kind words.
Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!
Peace,
Monita
