Be kind to yourself

Hi everyone

I like to think I am kind to others, and judging by the posts on these forums I know you are all kind people too.

But often I forget to be kind to myself.

I didn't go to work today because I'm sick and feel guilty that I'm not at work. Feel bored. Feel lazy.

But you know what? Sometimes it's ok to sit in your robe all day. Sometimes it's ok to nap, wake up, then nap again! Sometimes it's ok to watch daytime TV.

 I hope you are all kind to yourselves today 🙂

The kindest thing one can do for themselves is not expose themselves to the toxic trauma of life.

Existence itself is an abuse of a mortal consciousness.

There is no dignity in trying to make the "best of a bad situation" for a few more years. No one will give you a prize for "sticking it out".

Hello,

I found this thread and I found that some comments I can relate to. I was recently in a shop and I overheard a staff member calling herself stupid. I do this to myself. So I told her that she wasn't stupid and that she shouldn't tell herself that. It reminded me not to call myself stupid, as I know that I'm not stupid. She was taken aback a little bit, but she seemed okay with my comment and was appreciative.

I hope everybody here are being to themselves.

Cheers
