Practicing self-compassion becomes a mantra in my journey. I learn to treat myself with kindness and understanding, forgiving myself for setbacks and celebrating even the smallest achievements.

I understand that progress is not linear, and setbacks are inevitable. But I keep moving forward, embracing the ups and downs as opportunities for growth.
