Be kind to yourself from "summary" of Calm the F*ck Down by Sarah Knight
The concept of treating yourself with kindness is one of the most important lessons you can learn in life. It's all too easy to be hard on yourself, to focus on your flaws and mistakes, and to constantly berate yourself for not measuring up to some unattainable standard of perfection. But the truth is, nobody is perfect. We all make mistakes, we all have flaws, and we all have moments of weakness. And that's okay. In fact, it's more than okay - it's what makes us human. Being kind to yourself means treating yourself with the same compassion and understanding that you would show to a friend who was going through a hard time. It means recognizing that you are doing the best you can in any given situation, and that sometimes, your best is going to be better than other times. It means forgiving yourself for your mistakes, and letting go of any guilt or shame that you may be carrying around with you. It means being gentle with yourself, and giving yourself the love and care that you deserve. When you are kind to yourself, you are better able to cope with the challenges that life throws your way. You are more resilient, more confident, and more able to bounce back from setbacks. You are better able to see the bigger picture, and to keep things in perspective. You are more likely to take risks, to try new things, and to push yourself out of your comfort zone. And most importantly, you are happier. You are more at peace with yourself, more content with your life, and more able to enjoy the present moment. So the next time you find yourself being hard on yourself, take a step back and ask yourself: What would I say to a friend in this situation? How would I treat them? And then, treat yourself with the same kindness and compassion. Remember that you are only human, and that you are doing the best you can. Remember that you deserve to be loved and cared for, just as much as anyone else. And remember that being kind to yourself is not a luxury - it's a necessity. It's the foundation upon which you can build a happy, fulfilling, and meaningful life.
