Be kind to yourself

Sometimes what we need most is to show ourselves the same kindness we give to others. This list has a man who smiles every morning at the light filtering through the trees, a jazz pianist searching for his own rhythm, an animated film that says every feeling has its place, the notes Marcus Aurelius wrote to himself and a woman resting in a hammock. No rush: pick one and enjoy it. If you're going through a hard time, reaching out to a professional is part of taking care of yourself too.
