Be Kind To Yourself

Some days are plain rough.  When this happens you are probably not kind to yourself. You didn’t get enough sleep and you are grumpy from the get-go. And things only get worse from there. You spill your coffee, miss your bus, or the traffic’s terrible. You’re late for your meeting, no time for lunch and you wish you’d spent the day in bed.

If you’re having a terrible day, stop for a minute, take a deep breath and take some time out to be kind to yourself. You can’t undo the bad things that have already happened, but you can turn around your bad day right now. Here are four simple things you can do to be kind to yourself and stop that rough day in its tracks.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched-they must be felt with the heart. ~ Helen Keller Click To Tweet
  1. Take some time out

When everything seems to be going wrong, you can stop that negative spiral by taking a break. Get out of the office if you can, go and do some deep breathing in the park, or even look out of the window for a few minutes.

Practice some deep breathing and maybe have an herbal tea or a glass of water. Anything that makes you feel calmer and more in control.

  1. Plan a treat to Be Kind to Yourself

If your day is going from bad to worse, make a plan to do something luxurious and relaxing. A long bath with the good bath oil, get takeout for dinner, book a weekend away or set up dinner with your partner or a friend.

Give yourself something to look forward to!

  1. Reset your self-talk

Take a moment to look at how you’re talking to yourself. Are you beating yourself up? Do the words ‘you always’ or ‘you never’ crop up in your self-talk? Or maybe ‘you’re no good, or why can’t you?”

Reset your Inner Critic to your Inner Champion and turn that self-talk around. Would you talk to a friend like that? No way! Then be kind to yourself. Everyone has bad days, you need nurturing, not beating up!

I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination. ~ Jimmy Dean Click To Tweet
  1. Celebrate the small wins

Sometimes it can feel like an achievement to get through the day at all! If you’re having a bad day, write down all your wins, big and small.

If you took the time to eat lunch, made it to the gym or yoga class, fed your family, and walked the dog you are on a winning streak!  Make it fun and pat yourself on the back for all the items checked off your list. Make it even more fun by writing down the bad things that didn’t happen. You didn’t spill coffee on your boss; you didn’t miss the bus, you didn’t forget to pick up the kids.

Celebrate just getting through!

I am Shirley Noah, Is stress taking over your life and happiness?  You’re not on top of your game and “everyday tasks” take you longer than normal.  Isn’t It Finally Time to Be Able to Manage Your Stressors That Wreak Havoc on Your Body and Your Well-Being? Join me in reclaiming your balance and have a less stressed healthier you.
