Write a pep talk about yourself. On an index card or postcard, write down all the things that are good about you. Carry this list with you at all times, and take it out when you need to pick yourself up. Even better, you should videotape yourself, reading the list into a camera and watch this video often. Write down what the benefits of watching you speak about yourself.
Strive to make each day a bit better than the previous one. Aim for frequent and continuous improvement. Tell yourself that you will at least improve on one thing that day compared to how it was previously done.
“When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.” – Audre Lorde, Writer and Civil Rights Activist
Without taking care of yourself, you will be unable to care for others. No matter where you are in life, allow yourself time to recover and rejuvenate yourself.
