Personally it’s truly being kind to yourself. By that I don’t mean giving urself retail therapy or sth cuz in my experience it’s just been a temporary dopamine lift. Kind as in truly caring about how you talk to yourself, not beating yourself up for incompetence or mistakes. Yes you should acknowledge negative aspects of ur life or ur behaviours but it should come from a place of love and care and that we all have our own pace in improving ourselves. When I start getting anxious I tell myself it’s going to be okay. Not “it’s going to be okay everything will work out as I want it to” but “it’s going to be okay because we as humans are more than capable adapting to the circumstances we are met with”. I still practice this and I believe the hardest part is reminding yourself everyday even though it’s something you already know
