Try to understand what causes you to feel fault, resolve it and move on. Inner criticism tears you down. Commit to skillful corrections. Take a big breath and very deliberately name to yourself three strengths or virtues you have and let them sink in.
Forrest and Dr. Rick Hanson explore how self-concept, the invisible architecture of who we are, shapes our lives.
Learn how self-compassion can soothe your inner critic, ease emotional pain, and reconnect you with your own worth, strength, and capacity to heal.
Liking feels good, it encourages us to approach and engage the world. Know what benevolence feels like in your body, heart, and mind, and realize that it is natural and normal. Appreciate some of the benevolence that buoys you along. Most people are fair-minded, empathic, cooperative, compassionate, and kind: in a word, benevolent.
