Constantly criticizing and dwelling upon perceived failures and things you “should” have done better depletes your energy and confidence. Practice self compassion. If you mess something up ask yourself, “what did I learn from this.” This is a way to turn negative self criticism into a opportunity for learning and growth.

Take a time out from social media if you find yourself feeling inadequate and frustrated by seeing what other women are sharing. Remind yourself that your journey is unqiue and it is essential to focus on your own daily wins and successes in order to make progress toward becoming a better version of yourself.
