Be kind

Self-compassion and self-care are highly important for maintaining and improving your mental health. Being kind to yourself is the practice of treating yourself with care, respect, and love. Excessive self-criticism can increase stress levels and negative emotions, impacting mental and physical health. Being kinder to yourself means understanding you are your worst critic and not stressing over the little things. Having perspective and going easy on yourself will make managing hard times and day-to-day feelings easier.
