Some helpful tips for Becoming Your Best Self:
1. Choose Radical Self-Compassion Over Self-Criticism: Replace harsh judgment with kindness. When you look in the mirror, refuse to criticize your body or character. Instead, practice positive affirmations to rewire your self-image, focusing on being patient and gentle with your personal journey.
2. Live with Integrity and Authenticity: Ensure your actions match your inner values. Self-respect grows when you show up for yourself, honor your boundaries, and live as the best version of yourself, not who others want you to be.
3. Focus on Inner Growth and Transformation: Shift from judging external flaws to focusing on personal evolution. Acknowledge your courage in overcoming challenges and focus on cultivating your inner "higher self" rather than superficial perfection, allowing your outer world to reflect your improved inner state.

10 things to remember when you are going through tough times

#10 Trust yourself that whatever happens, you'll handle it.

Most people underestimate their capacity for life. They spin themselves a story that if 'that' happened, they couldn't handle it. Yet, when faced with a major life crisis or significant adversity, people discover within themselves a far greater capacity for life than they'd imagined. Rosie Batty said, "We can never underestimate the strength of the human spirit. We may feel utterly crushed but within us is a force that can rise again, even from the darkest times." Trusting yourself may not change your experiences in life, but it can change your experience of life. The more you trust that 'you've got this' the sooner you actually will.

#9 Life doesn't happen to you, it happens for you.

You would not be half the person you were today if everything you'd ever wanted had gone to plan. You might not choose your current circumstances, but they hold a silent invitation for you to grow into more of the person you have within you to be. Adversity has a way of introducing us to aspects of our humanity- strengths, talents and deeper dimensions of our own being - that we couldn't access without them. So embrace those uncomfortable emotions for the opportunity they hold to learn and grow in whole new ways. Growth and comfort cannot ride the same horse. Just because an experience is hard doesn't mean it's bad. Sometimes the very worst things that ever happened to us can turn out to be the very best things.

10 things to remember when you are going through tough times

#8 We are braver together then we can ever be alone.

Is a burden shared really a burden halved? Who can say. But it is certainly a burden lightened. Human nature being what it is, often when we are going through a tough time we feel inclined to put on a mask in withdrawal from the very people who could help us get through it better. Reaching out to others during my own moments of vulnerability lifted me up and help me move through those first few days with far more courage than I could have otherwise. So if you've been struggling, I encourage you to reach out to the people in your world who know and care about you. Confide how you're feeling. Enlist support. Asking for help is never a sign of weakness; it's a sign of courage that shows you want to be stronger.

#7 Faith doesn't remove your problems it transforms them.

We cannot connect the dots moving forward. We can only connect them looking backward. So keep faith that as messy as your situation may be right now, in the longer arch of time, the dots will connect. Having faith that God is at work doesn't remove your challenges, but it transforms your relationships to them. Daring to believe that everything will ultimately work out for the best that there will be something good in the midst of the bad will expand your ability to start to see things from a different perspective. Perhaps those storms you think that have come to disrupt your path are really just revealing it. The most valuable chapters of Our Lives often they'll get a title till much later. Keep faith and press on.
