Be Kind to Your Mind
You may often find yourself in a continuous loop of saying the wrong things, then feeling poorly about yourself… then being afraid to say more. (We all fall into this cycle from time to time.) On the other hand, your mind might be swimming with terrible thoughts from the past or worries for the future.
Give yourself grace! Meditation, deep breathing exercises, and aromatherapy are just a few ideas to help you emerge from your mental burdens. Remember, there’s no limit to how many strategies you try.

Bottom line: hold onto those precious snippets of time that make you feel whole… and beautiful.
