I don’t think it’s possible to be too kind to ourselves. It would feel almost like saying that we don’t deserve unconditional love from ourselves.

I’ve very recently been trying to circle back to me after noticing being particularly unkind or hard on myself. To the point of saying out loud, “I’m so sorry for the way I talked to you back there. I’m working on it. I want better for you than what you got in that moment”. It feels healing. And like I’m cleaning up a mess I made with myself.

You cannot be too kind to yourself. I do not like the term nice that equals (for me) giving too much of myself to others and not being able to say no, but kind is good. Kind can mean me saying no to others and yes to myself. Kind can be a nap or coloring or finding all sorts of ways to fill my well.
