How not to be hard on yourself. Hello everyone, I hope you are well. In today’s post, I will be sharing some advice on How to not be hard on yourself. Us parents, single or married, and everyone else, we go through a stage in life where we feel low and start thinking about all sorts of reason why we are not happy, or things are not going the way we had hoped for. That would then lead to all sorts of negative chaos of which we do not need. Sometimes we put our lives depending on our partners, siblings and parents even our friends to look after us and when they are not available to get to a depressing mode, everything just went from light to dark.
How To Not Be Hard On Yourself
To be able to control or emotions and not to be too hard on ourselves when we are about to hit rock bottom, here are a few things you have to keep in mind:
- Your mistakes are part of your learning.
- Please don’t compare yourself to others because you are not them.
- There is no right way to do anything.
- Stand up for what you believe, even if it’s impossible.
- Learn from people who criticise you
- Accept your weakness as your ‘ future.’
- Look at your past as an adventures biography.
- Please don’t underestimate your talent until you apply it 100 times.
- Every single problem you have is not unique.
- Intelligence is relative; self-esteem is not.
- Express your anger in a creative way
- Surround yourself with people who want you to succeed.
I know this was a short post, but I just wanted to share. Hopefully, you enjoy it, and if you or know anyone who is feeling low about themselves or environment, remember, life is too short, if you can not change it, then there’s no point in stressing yourself about it. We all have a limit of things we can and can not do.

Good reminders of how to be kind to yourself. I especially like your tip ‘Don’t compare yourself to others because you are not them’. With immediate access on social media to other’s curated life, this is something that is so easy to do. We are all better off being ourselves and finding contentment with our own lives.

Love this! It is so important to stay focused on the good in one’s life and not let the excess clutter up our brain and thought patterns. These are all wonderful tips on how to be kind and realistic with yourself!

We cannot afford to waste our valuable time doing self pity when the focus should be on how to take control and make the future better. We don’t deserve to be too hard on ourselves and completely agree with your thoughts.

I love this post. Mistakes will be made in life and we can only grow from them. Your last point about “Surrounding yourself with people who want you to succeed”. It is one of those things I learned later in life. Keep positive and you will in a better light.

So true, often I find that people are their own worst critics. People aren’t their mistakes and as long as people are trying their best they shouldn’t be so down on themselves

These are great tips. Mistakes are always a part of learning! Something I struggle with is comparing myself to others. It’s a hard thing not to do but I am a work in progress. Thank you for these reminders!

Love these tips 🙂 Everyone needs a breather from time to time, or a reminder that these things that stress us out will eventually pass and most likely have solutions.

Great reminder. Too often we isolate ourselves and forget how lonely and broken this world is. We know what great joy is only because we have experienced great sadness. There is always hope!
