Welcome to the First Responder Reverb, Affirmations and Conversations. I'm your host, Michael Reynolds. Join us as we explore the world of first responders, offering affirmations, insights, and meaningful conversations. Thank you for your service. Today's affirmation is about self-compassion. Let's be honest, as first responders, we don't always get this part right, whether it's because we're frustrated with the job or upset with something we did at home. Our response wasn't right. Our reaction wasn't right. We didn't get the reaction or response that we wanted. Whether it's personally or professionally, sometimes we miss the ball on this one. It's important to have self-compassion, not just for yourself, but for the ones around So just remember, you're a human, your family is only human, your kids are human, your coworkers are human, and the people we deal with day in and day out are humans. Remember not everyone gets it right all the time. Show yourself some compassion and show others as well. Now let's take a minute to plug in and take care of ourselves. Let's take three deep breaths.
