If it's hard for you to give yourself a break, remember that often the repercussions of your choice go beyond your own wellbeing. We are all connected. When your friend, daughter, sister, mother, father, brother, employee, student, etc. sees you taking care of yourself, they are more likely to feel they have the freedom to be kinder to themselves too. If you're stressed, anxious, tense, etc., and need to step away and take a deep breath, but keep telling yourself, "Oh, just one more email..." or "I can ignore this nagging feeling", ask yourself, what would you tell someone you love? Many of us hold ourselves to higher standards than we hold others--sure, that can bring excellence in some ways, but it is worth pausing once in a while to ask if we are being fair or kind enough to ourselves.
