Take it easier.

Here's your weekly reminder to take care of you.

How can you take it easier this week Reader?

What do I mean by taking it easier? I mean: how can you be even more self compassionate this week?

In my self-care workshops, I frequently discuss the importance of self-compassion when it comes to self-care and recovering from burnout. Compassion means "empathy in action" -- recognizing suffering and adversity and doing something to alleviate it. Self compassion has everything to do with having empathy in action for yourself.

Being self compassionate may look like:

• Being patient with yourself for trying something new
• Getting curious about what's causing your burnout​
• Unlearning to attach your worth to your work
• Choosing to be kind to yourself

Allow self-compassion to support you on your journey towards burnout. Discover more ways to add self-compassion to your self-care practice with my 5-day journaling challenge, Perfectly Imperfect. Over the course of 5 days, you will receive a different guided journaling prompt every day via email to learn what you need to give yourself the kindness, patience and care you deserve.
