"I was tired of listening to my harshest critic, the little voice in my head, so I became more KIND to myself." -Member of MyParkinsonsTeam
You may judge yourself and others every day without realizing it. Like many members of MyParkinsonsTeam have found, living with Parkinson's Disease is an exercise in frustrating moments. You may blame yourself when you look in the mirror, drop something, or falter with a simple task. The problem is when you let these internal judgments shape belief in yourself.
Experts in mindfulness and self-care recommend pausing for a moment when you find you're judging yourself. Be aware of those judgments. Ask yourself where this is coming from. Use the moment to be gentle and compassionate with yourself.
