I went to a good workshop about self compassion last night. The exercise that did me the best good was the following:
"Imagine yourself at 80 years old. What would that person be like? What would they say to younger you?"
I practically burst into tears when I thought about this. I am so cruel to myself, and my 80 year old self would just give me a hug and stop all of that self-inflicted pain.... Today has been a better day, maybe as a result :)
Following you because I like thought provoking things.
So good, i think most of us are our worse critics, and when things may not go as planned or become a bit difficult we tend to blame ourselves, and be critical......Life is to short, I Am❤
