Be Your Own Best Friend: 6 Ways to Overcome Self-Criticism – In this podcast episode, I unpack the best ways to conquer the devastating habit of self-criticism through six practices, all while learning to become a friend to yourself and foster more kind and mindful thoughts.
Learn about the destructive habit of self-criticism and how to overcome it by listening to this episode. I’ll unpack six practices for corralling one’s critical voice and treating oneself with compassion. These practices include being a friend to oneself, journaling, being mindful, practicing self-care, expressing gratitude, and challenging negative thoughts. By taking time to implement these practices, we can ultimately foster self-kindness and spread kindness to those around us.
When we practice self-care and mindfulness, it promotes self-kindness, compassion and mindful practices that keep us present – so we aren’t so focused on the past where we can beat ourselves up – and in the present moment, there’s really nothing wrong with us.
In this episode, you will learn the following:
- How can you become a friend to yourself instead of your own worst critic?
- What are the benefits of journaling to reduce stress and anxiety?
- How can we challenge our negativity and foster self-compassion in our daily lives?
And more!
