Why You Need to Be Nice to Yourself

Nov 9

We think if we’re more aggressive, strict and criticize ourselves into doing something, we’ll be successful.

But how many times have you beaten yourself into approaching your desires—and how many times has that been auspicious? Criticism feeds the cycle of self-sabotage.

Further, when the desire to change is rooted in shame, the outcome is fruitless. Nothing changes, at least not in ways you hoped.

There’s a part of you that wants to know no matter what, change or not, you’re loved. And so, the cycle lives on—until you show up with grace and understanding, and the desire is rooted in love and empowerment.

Criticism doesn’t really motivate us to show up for ourselves, and bashing ourselves doesn’t promote change.

But when we’re compassionate, we’re more accountable. When we move from the fiery pits of antipathy to the sublime state of empathy, we’re happier. When we create change from a place of empowerment, we’re put in an advantageous position and we show up willingly and lovingly.

So let this be my reminder to you to be fucking nice to yourself - it’s the greatest FUCK YOU to a culture that tells you not too!
