I am gentle with myself during times of stress or uncertainty
During times of stress or uncertainty, it's easy to be hard on yourself. You might feel like you're not doing enough or that you're not handling the situation well. But it's important to remember that you're only human, and it's okay to be gentle with yourself.
When you're feeling stressed or uncertain, take a moment to pause and breathe. Close your eyes and focus on your breath, letting go of any tension or worry. Remind yourself that you're doing the best you can, and that's all anyone can ask of you.
Repeat the affirmation to yourself: "I am gentle with myself during times of stress or uncertainty". Say it out loud if you need to. Let the words sink in and remind you that it's okay to take care of yourself.
One way to be gentle with yourself is to practice self-care. This can mean different things for different people, but some ideas include taking a relaxing bath, going for a walk in nature, or treating yourself to your favorite food or drink.
Another way to be gentle with yourself is to practice self-compassion. This means treating yourself with the same kindness and understanding that you would offer to a friend. Instead of beating yourself up for making a mistake or not knowing what to do, offer yourself words of encouragement and support.
Remember that stress and uncertainty are a normal part of life, and everyone experiences them at some point. You're not alone, and you don't have to go through it alone. Reach out to friends or family for support, or consider talking to a therapist or counselor.
Above all, be gentle with yourself. You're doing the best you can, and that's enough. Repeat the affirmation to yourself whenever you need a reminder: "I am gentle with myself during times of stress or uncertainty".
