If you’re being hard on yourself lately—
pause and ask:
“What would I say to someone I love?”
Most of us use a tone with ourselves we’d never use with a friend.
Growth doesn’t come from shame. It comes from safety.
Try this: Self-Compassion Reframe
-Notice the critical thought.
-Name the feeling underneath it.
-Respond like you would to someone you care about.
Support creates change.
