Veiled Witch # 18 - Be Kind to Yourself

Dogged persistence serves us well until you run out. You run out of time; you run out of energy; you run out of clean laundry? No matter what it is, you run out of some vital resource that powered your persistence. It is part of the reason why New Year's Resolutions get abandoned at about this time of year.

You may find yourself at a place where you just can't do the thing. The trick here is to be mindful and kind to yourself. Remember, you are not a machine someone can set off running and not worry about. You need time to rest and recover. You need time to take care of your needs and time to relax. View setbacks as an opportunity to regroup, rest, and prepare your next move.

ETA: Whoopsies. I posted this to the wrong blog. But it is still pretty good to keep in mind, so it stays.
