3. Take some time to appreciate you!

You are one of a kind. Cultivating a practice of appreciating what makes you YOU is so important when learning to love and be kind to ourselves.

I hope this gives you some food for thought! What's your favorite thing about yourself?

2. Learn to navigate mistakes with grace.

You didn't mess up on purpose, and learning to take a breath and accept the mistake (without beating yourself up) and move on is a superpower. Knowing you can assess where you went wrong and fix it next time can help build your self-trust up.

1. Celebrate your progress (no matter how small!)
Recognizing your small changes and taking a moment to appreciate your determination can help you make changes joyfully, and can train you to appreciate where you're at in the present.

I...hope that this rant helps me hang on just a little longer, so I can get a better job in the city and find an apartment soon. I'm tired of getting sick from how tired I am. I'm tired of crying in my car as I drive, since it's the only place safe enough for me to do so.

I struggle to tell them (mainly because I believe privacy is anyone's right, and I shouldn't have to) because I *do* sincerely appreciate all they've done for me, but it's left me as a shell of a person, Exhausted and constantly hyper vigilant.
