Your worth isn't tied to how much you accomplish. Remember, just being you is enough, and that's something to celebrate every day.
Setting limits on what you do is important. It's okay to define what feels like 'enough' for you, so you can enjoy life's little moments without feeling guilty.
You don't have to do everything perfectly or all at once. Focus on your health and happiness instead, because doing more often leads to more stress, not more joy.

You talk to yourself more than anyone else, so it's important to make that inner voice kind and supportive.
Challenging negative thoughts can empower you; remember that not every thought you have is true.
Practice saying positive things to yourself, just like you would for a loved one, to boost your self-esteem.

It's okay to focus on one area of improvement at a time, depending on what feels right for you. Sometimes it's best to pause and add new things back gradually when you're ready.
Instead of aiming for a specific result, focus on taking action. Set short deadlines to try new things, and don't worry if the outcome isn't perfect right away.
Take small steps to push your comfort zone a little at a time. Smaller, consistent actions can lead to better results and less stress than trying to make huge leaps all at once.
