That voice you hear in your head is real and the most powerful voice you hear, yet for many of us, it’s the most critical voice we ever hear! The way you support yourself has such a role to play in your health and wellbeing but is very overlooked when it comes to building a healthy lifestyle. This is why today we’re going deep into the topic of self-compassion for wellbeing with guest Tom Cleary. Tom has a wealth of expertise in mental health and personal development with a focus on self-compassion and social connection. Having awareness of the type of person you are and how you treat yourself is a fundamental piece of the wellbeing puzzle. Only with this awareness can you be more compassionate and supportive of yourself to reduce the impact, and potential damage, of the often very loud and intrusive internal voice you have. In this conversation we explore: Why so many people struggle with self-compassion and are so hard on themselves. The damage your inner critic can inflict on every part of your life. The power that comes when you build self-compassion into your wellness toolbox. Developing self-awareness as a key tool to build self-kindness, self-compassion, and self-encouragement. Getting started with building stronger self-compassion and tips to become self-aware right now! The role of social and human connection in the relationship we have with ourselves. How the pandemic and changes coming out the other side are affecting our wellbeing. Personality types and how important it is to understand yours without having to put a label on it. Why introvert personality types can be so hard on themselves and the changing awareness of what being introvert means.
