Listen Later

When was the last time that you really took the time to check on yourself? Chances are it’s been awhile since you’ve taken the time to forgive yourself or maybe not at all.

Compassion is an attitude that comes naturally if you were brought up in such a loving and unconditional environment.  Children should feel that their homes are not places of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA), but rather a place that is safe. If they don’t feel safe, going through adulthood will be full of resentment and insecurities, and the resulting experiences will always be that of failures.These days more and more young people are being hard on themselves, subjecting themselves to self ostracism because of what the world presents in the social circle and in social media.

This is an episode not to be missed, because the ideas presented will help you let go of perfect expectations and even ask for help. Enjoy!
