5 Ways to Be Kinder to Yourself This Week
By Misty, Heart Healing Life Coach 🇺🇸💫
Because You Deserve the Same Compassion You Give So Freely
If you talked to your best friend the way you talk to yourself… would they still come over for coffee?
It’s a funny question, but it makes a powerful point. We tend to be so quick to give others grace, encouragement, and love—but when it comes to ourselves? We get sharp, critical, impatient.
This week, I want to invite you to try something different: Be just a little kinder to yourself.
Not in a big, Pinterest-perfect self-care day kind of way, but in small, meaningful choices that remind your heart, “Hey—you matter too.”
Here are 5 simple ways to start:
✨ 1. Speak gently to yourself
Catch one negative thought and reframe it like you would for someone you love.
Instead of: “I should be further along.”
Try: “Look how far I’ve come. Growth takes time, and I’m doing the work.”
✨ 2. Take a real break—without guilt
Even if it’s just 10 minutes to walk outside, sit in silence, or stretch your body. Not because you “earned it,” but because rest is your right, not a reward.
✨ 3. Choose comfort
Wear the soft shirt. Light the candle. Sip the tea. Comfort isn’t laziness—it’s nourishment. Give yourself permission to feel safe and soothed.
✨ 4. Stop apologizing for being human
Did you cry? Need help? Say no? Beautiful. That means you’re listening to your needs—and that’s not weakness, it’s wisdom.
✨ 5. Celebrate the small win
You got out of bed. You made that phone call. You didn’t snap when you really wanted to. That matters. It all counts.
💌 Your Gentle Challenge:
Pick one of these and try it every day this week. You don’t have to do it perfectly—just with heart.
