In this episode, we teach you about the difference between self-compassion and self-esteem. Is one better than the other? YES. Self-compassion gives a more stable sense of self-worth over time because it is not based on outward appearances, how physically attractive you are, or how successful you are. Unlike self-esteem, self-compassion leads us to connect with others instead of comparing ourselves to them. Can you think of 5 positive truths about yourself that are not based on outward accomplishments or appearance? If you need some guidance, we have the perfect meditation for you at the end of this episode.
