    It’s might sound kinda silly but one thing that helped me be kinder to myself was thinking about how I treat others

    I’d never treat people I cared about how I was treating myself so trying to be as kind to myself as I was to others was the goal I set for myself

    And overtime it became easier and easier to be kind to myself about my short comings

    Yeah I may fail to do all the tasks I set out for myself today but I did accomplish somethings

    It may even be little things some days and other days it’s not a whole lot at all

    But the kinder I was to myself the more I found myself able to do the things I set out to do

    I still stumble some days but that’s okay

        I only wish I had learned it earlier in life

        That would have helped me a lot over the years

        So the next best thing is to help other people with it so that they don’t have to suffer as long as I did

      That reminds me of Rossmanns last video where he tells the story of how he discovered that he himself has also worth, especially compared to brokem apple computers.
