Be Kind, Rewind: Reflection on Being Kind to Yourself

Be Kind, Rewind: Reflection on Being Kind to Yourself

Damn straight I am.

This year my only resolution is to be kind to myself. Starting a new year comes with a lot of pressure to start over. It means starting a diet or workout regimen. It means quitting bad habits. It means reflecting on the shitty parts of yourself and forcing yourself to change them. I’m realizing my worst habit is being unkind to myself.
