Why is it so Difficult to Treat Ourselves with Kindness??
Why is it so hard to treat ourselves with kindness? My Therapist once said to me, "You wouldn't say that to a friend who was struggling. So why would you say that about yourself?" And it's true, while we like to believe we give ourselves credit for our accomplishments we often brush them aside in lieu of, "what's next". What goal can I reach or what accolade can I achieve next. As I write this post the lyrics of a Charlie Puth, yes, I said Charlie Puth...song ring in my head.
"I can see you're strugglin'
Promise you'll find love again
Yeah, it will be alrightWhy are you so hard on yourself?"
