Learning is a vital step on the path of many toward healing.
Acknowledging there’s something you’d like to improve comes first.
Starting to make changes, no matter how small, is next.
If you don’t get it right the first, second or fiftieth time forgive yourself and keep practicing.
I know you can do it!
