maybe roosevelt was on to something when he said speak softly and carry a big stick.

How to: softness in personality

The only prerequisite for embracing your softness is one of the hardest things for the mind to understand. It requires you to surrender to yourself. To know that you don't need to have all the solutions and that the addiction the brain has to negativity is in place, genetically and societally to protect you. Thank yourself for your protect but give make space for quiet and soft.

Ruthless "me" time

Stop putting yourself on the back burner. Those times where you feel like you don't know what to do. As if the world is taking and taking and giving nothing back? Remind yourself who you are. The only way to make a habit is to practice. Respect your own time and your emotional bandwidth. You cannot give your best from an empty cup. The first person who's earned your compassion and love is you.

Meditation for sweeties

If you're a member of hard to say no club, or there's just too much to do club. Listen up!

If you have more than 5 minutes where you feel like you should be doing something but there's nothing to do, take the time and do something tentative that requires your full attention. Don't force yourself to be creative or too academic. Hug yourself, tune into what your gut wants to do.

Surprisingly, sometimes you just need to close your eyes and breathe.
