Cute and motivational drawings to brighten your day! My name is Jacqueline, and I started Chibird in 2010 to share my comics and characters with the world. I hope they can make your day a little brighter. Thank you for visiting! <3

I used to be so hard on myself for not getting more done. This was especially true when I was still an engineer- but amongst the hours of meetings and interviews and planning I did, it was more of a miracle that I was getting so much done. Let's be kind to ourselves! What other factors are contributing to our productivity, our energy, and our time? Only when we're more reasonable with ourselves, can we adjust how much we can actually get done, and then accomplish things without guilt.

I haven’t drawn myself in a while, but this one felt too personal not to. I think society has a big emphasis on “fixing” yourself, which makes sense in the way of therapy or growing as a person. However, sometimes you don’t need fixing because you’re not actually broken. I thought I needed to be more resilient to stress and anxiety, but I actually needed to be kinder to myself, by putting less pressure on myself and working less.

It’s still a work in progress for me, but I hope it can be a little helpful to you all! ♡
