Sometimes just acknowledgement of our humanity and giving ourselves permission to breathe is being "gentle". Sometimes it is choosing sleep and self-care over completing an item on our list. Sometimes it is extending a deadline so we can show up as our best self for a job at hand. Sometimes it is eating creme brulee for dinner instead of kale salad. Sometimes it is letting someone else take care of you for a while. The key is not to kick yourself for it. Especially when you are such a giver. If your aren't taking care of you there is no way you can take of others in the manor they deserve.
