Hi,

I am pretty good at helping others.
But I have lots to learn about helping myself.
I thought maybe people might want to share ideas about how they nurture themselves.

Here are some things that I do.


I try to treat myself the way I would treat another person -- cut them lots of slack, give them the benefit of the doubt, forgive them, have realistic expectations for them, tell them when they are doing a good job, tell them they look good, . . .



I try to limit self-criticizing and congratulate myself every time I do something -- or even just manage to get through the day.

I push myself much less than I used to and remember to tell myself I am doing fine.

I also thank my body and my mind for helping me.

M.
