It's hard to be kind to ourselves, isn't it? Why? We both must work on this change of perspective. For 1 day, be as kind to yourself as you are to those you love. I will do the same. If you catch yourself thinking, I'm so lazy, fat, unlovable, blah blah blah. Stop the self talk by talking back. "Hey back off, I'm a lovely person, so stop being mean to me." That should shut that voice up. ✌🏼
