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.
