I've noticed that I say "well done" or "you have done a great job" a lot to others. But I don't give myself praise and positive feedback nearly as much. As part of being committed to being kind and caring to myself, I am making an effort to congratulate myself when I try hard, do my best, and do good work.

How could you start giving yourself positive feedback? Is there a particular situation where you could begin, like work, home, or school?

06/07/2023

I get anxious about public speaking. Before every workshop, I feel nervous and my stomach feels unsettled. My mind does a fabulous job of telling me all the things that could go wrong. Welcoming my anxiety and inviting it to come to the workshop with me helps me a lot. The nervous feeling doesn't go, but it doesn't stop me from teaching about using ACT with children and adolescents. I hope that you find my tips helpful!
