Sometimes when negative thoughts creep in, I picture myself as a tiny plant just starting to grow. I remind myself, "I wouldn't crush a little sapling for struggling to stand tall." I'm learning to be gentler with myself, giving space for growth and patience. We all deserve kindness, especially from ourselves. Growth takes time, and every day is a new chance to reach for the sun. How do you show yourself compassion when you're feeling down?
