Give yourself a cashmere safety net

It’s so easy to allow your inner critic to humiliate you, to tell you you’re useless, and likely to fail. But being gentle and compassionate with yourself means you’re far more likely to do something positive and have a better outcome. Try saying, ‘Whatever happens, I will forgive myself.’ And if something doesn’t work first time, don’t be afraid to have another go. Accept that change is a process, and an investment of time, and allow yourself to go through it without giving up or being self-critical.
