Suggestions
1) Write down ten things you need and ask someone to help you with at least 3 of them.
2) Work on being the best version of yourself. Practice gratitude in writing or silently.
3) Make a date to do something good for you. (massage, pedicure, going for a walk, preparing a healthy meal, listening to favorite music, reading a good book etc.)
4) Catch yourself when you feel fear, doubt, sadness or anger and talk gently and reassuringly to yourself. Ask yourself, what do you need right now?
5) Listen more than you talk. Really listen with your full attention.
