Go Gentle Into This New Year
2020 left behind a world of loss. Our hearts feel the weight of missed milestones, withered friendships, canceled weddings, eliminated jobs, separated families, illness, death, trauma, and uncertainty. Even in a new year, so many of us are grieving.
Show yourself the same kindness and care that you would show a friend!
Self-compassion means being gentle and understanding with yourself. You are not perfect, in fact, no one is! Mistakes are opportunities for growth and improvement. It may be hard, but try not to get angry with yourself when life falls short of your set expectations.
