I like this perspective better than "what would you say to a friend in this situation?" -- that never works for me. Just the act of thinking about a partner or friend or family member who cares makes a huge difference! ❤️
Yes, exactly. If we are lucky enough to have someone like that, it can help so much to imagine what they would advise. For me, it’s my dad: he is a steady voice in favor of taking it easy on myself. 💗
