Our theme for Sundays is Self Kindness. Out of everyone we know, we often treat ourselves the worst, beating ourselves up for mistakes and expecting perfection. Self-care starts with understanding yourself and what you need to maintain a healthy body and mind. It could be time for yourself, saying no to avoid taking on too much or allocating time to spend with pals.
