In psychotherapy, we use Parts Work, which begins with the understanding that a person is made up of different parts of the self.

For example, we can imagine how we present different temperaments, thought patterns, and behaviors when we are with family, with friends, or at work.

Sometimes, we play a role for too long, trying too hard and pushing ourselves to the point of exhaustion, which can leave us feeling happy or unhappy as a result.

Regardless, give yourself some space to step back from your roles, observe yourself, reflect on your journey, appreciate your efforts, affirm your worth, and be kind to yourself.

I just bought myself a waffle. How about you? How will you treat yourself a little better today?
