it's alright to find it difficult to be kind to yourself. it is difficult. especially if you've spent most of your life treating yourself differently.

but the fact that you're trying at all is so great. you can't expect to change the way you think about yourself overnight but each time you practice self compassion or stop yourself thinking something unkind about yourself you are getting some step closer to where you are trying to be.
