It’s the simple things in life that hold the power to heal and uplift us.

"Empathy is seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another, and feeling with the heart of another." - Alfred Adler

One Positive Action
Self-Compassion Pause
You probably talk to yourself way harsher than you'd ever talk to a friend. A small mistake or forgotten detail can turn into this whole internal monologue about how you should have done better. That voice gets loud sometimes, and over time it really does chip away at how you feel about yourself.
Next time you catch yourself in one of those "I'm not enough" or "I should have known better" spirals, try this simple thing: stop and say "I am learning, I am growing." That's it. You're not pretending you didn't mess up or that everything's fine, you're just reminding yourself that figuring things out takes time.
This kind of self-compassion actually helps you change and grow because you're not constantly beating yourself up. When you give yourself permission to be imperfect, you stop wasting energy on shame and can put it toward actually getting better at things. Plus, being gentler with yourself just feels better, which makes it easier to keep trying.
Today, listen to how you talk to yourself. When that critical voice starts up, pause and say "I am learning, I am growing." You're not defined by one mistake or one bad moment. You're defined by how you keep showing up, even when things get messy.
