Self-Criticism to Self-Compassion

Talk to yourself like you would to someone you care about.

We're often our own harshest critic, but what if we chose to meet ourselves with kindness instead?

Replace that inner voice of judgement with understanding and compassion. Remember - everyone makes mistakes, and difficult experiences are part of being human.

Curious about how to put this into practice? Next time you catch yourself being self-critical:
1. Pause and ask: "What would I say to someone I cared about in this situation?"
2. Use words that offer support, patience, and encouragement rather than criticism
3. Then offer yourself those same kind words

This gentle approach can help reduce anxiety and low mood whilst building emotional resilience.

You deserve the same compassion you give others ✨
