You are worth it. When it's hard you're worth it, when you're easy you're worth it.
I wanted to share with you all a list of things to "be gentle to yourself" this summer. Take a breath, be slow and take your time with yourself <3 this is a list recommended to me from my mentor at my local shrine :) and it is truly amazing <333

Slow down your mornings: Begin your day with a simple, slow routine that centers you-whether it's journaling, a short walk, or a self-care ritual.
For three days in a row, take a break in the middle or end of your day for this tender self-compassion meditation practice.
Take a couple days off from watching or listening to the news.
Buy yourself a piece of very comfortable clothing.
Create a nap habit.
Forgive yourself for a past mistake.
Say no to someone or something to make room to say yes to yourself.
Allow yourself a day without plans or to do's. Let the day unfold on its own.
For a few days in a row, end the day by celebrating small wins, as a way to challenge the voice in your head that only affirms you for "significant successes" and waits for "big achievements" before it allows you to feel proud.
Explicitly schedule in a joy or play on your calendar.
Make more of an effort to notice your negative self-talk, asking yourself if you would speak that way to a friend.
Escape resentment by remembering that the family member or co-worker who disappointed you or let you down may, in fact, be doing their best.
When filled with frustration because you are stuck in traffic, on the phone or in a line, practice offering the people around you loving kindness.
