31 Days of Self Kindness

If being hard on yourself isn't working, it's time to try something else.

So many of us are taught that the only way to grow and improve is to be hard on ourselves, to hold ourselves to impossibly high standards, and to never take a break. But then life happens, and we find that being critical of ourselves isn't getting us where we want to be. Sooner or later, we come face-to-face with this harsh reality: We are only human. We will struggle. We will make mistakes. And we'll need help. But maybe that's okay. Maybe we were never meant to be more than human.

This book will serve as a gentle and encouraging guide on your self-kindness journey. Over 31 days, you'll discover helpful truths, practical tools, and engaging exercises that will invite you to give yourself the kindness and compassion you deserve.
