    I Can Be Patient With Myself

    It’s normal to feel frustrated when we can't do something perfectly right away. When that happens, let’s try to change our mindset so that we don’t immediately expect perfection of ourselves when trying new things. Making mistakes is part of the learning process, and we can use those obstacles as opportunities to learn and grow. By being patient with ourselves, we can also be understanding and kind to others as we recognize that everyone learns at their own pace and has different strengths and weaknesses.

    Today, I Will Let Myself Relax

    In our daily lives, there’s so much we have to do. It’s good to be responsible and hard-working, but in order to properly take care of ourselves, we need to take breaks. Otherwise, we can get burnt out. Relaxing plays an important role in helping our bodies and minds feel good. There are different ways we can let ourselves rest - we can take time off to do the things we enjoy, get extra sleep, or even do nothing at all! When we actively take care of ourselves, we can feel happier and healthier.
