548: Self-Critical vs. Self-Compassion

In this episode, we discuss the difference between showing yourself self-compassion vs. being self-critical. Self-compassion is a practice we can work towards each day and there are numerous benefits. The practice of self-compassion is giving the same kindness to ourselves that we would give to others. When you are kind to yourself,  you can also be kind with others.   Quote of the Week: “Learning to embrace yourself and your imperfections gives you the resilience needed to thrive.” - Kristen Neff  This Week's Power Phrase: “I am kind to myself. I know I am doing the best I can.”
