When we’re not feeling productive or motivated: Self-compassion is key. Today, we’ll practice being kind to our progress, even when we feel like we miss the mark. Written by Tiana Brawley, M.S.W.

Takeaways:

1- Self-kindness means meeting ourselves where we are instead of forcing productivity every day.

2- We can take mental breaks and days off to help us restore and re-energize—and trust it’s part of the process.

3- Aim for consistency and compassion as you go after your 2021 goals and intentions.
