I treat myself with gentleness.
A newborn baby needs gentle and tender care–a soft hug, a soothing touch, a cozy blanket. A crying baby calms as his or her needs are met 
As a child of God, I treat myself gently and tenderly. If I feel overwhelmed or anxious, I see myself as a tiny newborn or an innocent child, and I gently ask, “What do I need?” 
Perhaps I need a short break, something to eat or a catnap. I may need a walk outside to stretch my legs, a conversation with a friend, or a few moments in the silence where I can feel God’s gentle presence enfolding me.
Taking time to be gentle with myself shows that I value myself. I am a precious child of God, worthy of love and care
“Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.”
Matthew 11:29
