August Mental Health Tip: Being Kind to Yourself

Being kind to yourself means treating yourself with compassion, understanding, and patience, acknowledging your own needs and limitations, and actively engaging in self-care practices to manage stress, rather than expecting yourself to be perfect all the time.

Mindfulness vs. Overidentification

Be mindful of holding a balanced perspective of negative thoughts. Accept them. Don’t supress them or overidentify with them.

Self-Kindness vs. Self-Judgement

Be kind and understanding to yourself when mistakes are made.

Common Humanity vs. Social Isolation

We are only human! We all make mistakes.
