Self

I receive God's forgiveness for past failures rather than carrying them

I see my gifts and abilities as given by God, not as my own achievement

I take care of my body and rest as acts of stewardship, not indulgence

I notice when I am running on empty and ask for help rather than pushing through alone

I resist the inner voice that says I am beyond repair or too far gone

I do not compare my inner life to others' outer appearances

I speak to myself the way I would speak to a struggling friend — with honesty and kindness

I seek help — from God, a friend, or a counselor — rather than isolating with my pain
