Be kind to Yourself
summary
Advocates treating internal criticism like a tantrum to stop — reframe the thought aloud, accept compliments, and move on, which saves minutes otherwise lost to rumination. Recommends practical self-care: keep a done list or awesome notebook, paint, sew, walk, or do something absurd like climb a white wooden horse to break shame. Notes 25–50% of people encounter mental illness and urges naming problems, making them less taboo and easier to address.
