The psychology of Self Compassion
Tired of being your own worst critic?🥺
We often speak to ourselves in the way that we would never speak to our best friend. That voice in your hand that says, " you should have done better" feels familiar but it's not helpful.
Here's a tip instead: 🙌 self criticism activates the threat system in our brain. (hello stress and anxiety!). self compassion activates the caregiving system. ( hello calm and safety!)
🤔Your thought provoking question: is your best friend made the mistake what would you say to them?
Say those kind words to yourself today! you deserve those kind words too.💖

I can start being nicer, to myself, and stop expecting perfection 💖💜
