Episode 3009: Ellen Burgan explores how self-compassion can transform the way you respond to mistakes, stress, and self-doubt. By practicing gratitude, forgiveness, and self-love, you can quiet negative self-talk, build emotional resilience, and create a healthier, more supportive relationship with yourself. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://ifitbringsyoujoy.com/the-amazing-value-of-self-compassion/ Quotes to ponder: “Self-love means having a high regard for your own well-being and happiness. Self-love means taking care of your own needs and not sacrificing your well-being to please others. Self-love means not settling for less than you deserve.” “Being compassionate with yourself is one of the best things you can do to stop that self-destructive negative self-talk.” “It’s OK to make mistakes. You’re not the only person who has struggled with any given experience, and nobody is perfect.” Episode references: Merriam-Webster Dictionary: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/compassion Learn more about your ad choices.
