Give yourself a pep talk. The last thing you need to do is to fall into self-criticism. Instead, be kind to yourself by talking back to any negative self-talk with words of encouragement.
Remind yourself that you’ve had not-so-great days before. That you’re doing what you need to do to take care of yourself. And you’ve got a support team you trust backing you up.
A good pep talk can help keep your mind from wandering into darker territory. Avoid catastrophizing. Use your self-talk to help keep your perspective on the big picture.
Remind yourself that a day when you don’t feel at your best is just that: It’s a day when you don’t feel at your best. Nothing more.
