Mindful Monday for Nov. 2

The Mindful Monday for Nov. 2 is a reminder to give yourself grace. You don't have to have everything figured out -- no one really does. You are allowed to be a work in progress. The progress is enough. When you feel overwhelmed, it's often because you are comparing your progress against others'. Instead of thinking, "I should be doing more", "I'm falling behind", or "I'm not where I should be", try these internal messages instead: "My worth is not measured by my productivity." "It's okay to take things one step at a time." "I'm doing the best I can with what I have right now." Think about the encouragement you would give a friend going through the same self-critical thoughts. You deserve the same patience, understanding, and kindness that you give to others.
