“It’s like we’ve got this super power in our back pocket and we don’t even know it.”
While we often rely on self-criticism
for motivation, the more effective tool is self-compassion.
This is a tool we always have access to, but rarely use.
This is a superpower for self-care and healing.
While it may sound silly, I invite you to try this the next time you are struggling:
First, imagine what positive words you might offer a good friend who is struggling, and then say these words
to yourself.
Acknowledge that this is where you are.
Put your hands on your heart.
This is a good place to start.
And the more you do it, the stronger your power will become.
