If we are feeling focused and relaxed, we can allow ourselves to enjoy that.<break strength="x-strong"/> And if we are feeling sleepy, we can allow ourselves to have a break, and re-engage after taking care of ourselves. This attitude of mindfulness and compassion will serve us much better than self-criticism.<break strength="x-strong"/> <break strength="x-strong"/> <break strength="x-strong"/> <break strength="x-strong"/> </speak>
