Most of us are skilled at being kind to others, but do you extend that same level of kindness to yourself? Self-love is a wonderful aspiration, but sometimes it feels hard to reach. Self-kindness can be the path that guides us toward this deeper appreciation. Through small acts of gentleness, we can begin to tend to ourselves with the same care and understanding that we offer to our loved ones.  You are worthy of rest. You are worthy of acceptance. And you are worthy of love. The path always starts with you.
