A baby pangolin is born quite helpless, other than the ability to suckle and cling. Until the baby is big enough to travel on its on, a mother pangolin will tote it around on her tail.
It can be easy to forget about taking care of yourself when you have stressful situations like deadlines piling up. The amount of guilt, anxiety, and self-criticism tend to increase, even though hard times are when you especially need to be kind to yourself! We’re going to make it through, and it’ll help if we keep our mental health up too!
when holding yourself accountable, make sure you are not inflicting more pain upon yourself (and others) by unnecessarily clinging onto guilt and self hatred. own your mistakes and wrongdoings, but never hold onto it as a definition of identity or self worth.
