The Kindest Thing You'll Ever Do. Here Comes the Sun, #2

Most of us give kindness away freely. To friends, to coworkers, to strangers, we give kindness away freely. And then we turn that same kindness toward ourselves, and something shuts off. The things we say about our own mistakes, our bodies, our failures. We would be appalled to hear those words directed at someone we love. But we direct them inward so automatically that we have stopped noticing. In this compact, evidence-based read from licensed clinical psychologist Patricia A.
Farrell, PhD, you will learn what self-compassion actually is (and what it is not), why research consistently shows it produces more resilience than self-criticism, the three pieces that make it work, and four practical ways to begin building it today. Dr. Farrell draws on foundational research and her own decades of clinical practice to make this science usable. Self-compassion is not weakness. It is not selfishness.
According to the research, it is one of the most reliable paths to getting back up after failure, staying motivated, and maintaining your emotional health long-term. The kindest thing you will ever do for the people around you is to start treating yourself with some of the care you give away so freely.
