Are You Tired Of Beating Yourself Up?

We can be very hard on ourselves. Often we talk to ourselves in ways we would never speak to someone else. When a friend might make a mistake, we tend to soften the edges for them. When we make a mistake, we can emotionally beat ourselves up.

Some of this boils down to having the same respect for ourselves that we show to others.

It’s too easy to get sucked into a downward spiral of negativity. What if, instead, you focus on what lights you up. Don’t downplay an achievement; let yourself feel the pride that you deserve. 

Working on not berating yourself for perceived failings is a key to easing stress, facing challenges, and feeling more content and connected.

Being kind to others will strengthen your ability to be kind and generous to yourself. 

Stressing mindfulness helps you to be curious about your feelings. Meditation is a great way to be more focused on your emotions.

Nurturing your needs is a path to self-care. Check in with yourself regularly and don’t diminish your needs to care for yourself-instead, nurture yourself. In that way you can stop beating yourself up and lead a more positive life.
