Know That You Have

Done Your Best

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 5 months ago 1 min read
You're doing your best

“Be gentle with yourself.

You are doing the best you can.”

We do live in a society

which constantly wants more,

demanding more

productivity and better improvement.

We need to set a balance

within our own minds and lives.

Every one of us “is” doing our best

so we should be gentle with ourselves.

Self-Kindness

shows us

that we should be kind and understanding

towards ourselves!

We should remember

that perfection is only a thought

in someone else’s mind,

and that we are ‘perfect’ as we are.

Positive mindfulness

makes us aware

of our own thoughts and feelings,

respecting and accepting

that ‘this is who we are.’

Self-Compassion

is important for our mental health,

to “know”

that we have done our best

and to stop pushing ourselves.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
