Don’t be too hard on yourself. Sometimes a little tenderness is all that’s needed to get beyond an impasse. Too often the tough method is applied when the gentlest shift is all that’s needed. Sometimes a soft touch is more effective than a firm hand. Make some changes every day, but make them be meaningful rather than drastic. And don’t forget to be kind in all you do and say, especially to the self. A few kind words, spoken at the right moment, will take you a lot further than you think!
