As the New Year gets underway there is a lot of focus on resolutions, goals, and intentions, which makes sense and can be both important and impactful. However, what we're usually wanting to experience with whatever healthy practices or desired achievements we focus on is feeling good about ourselves. And what can often get in the way of our success and fulfillment is being harsh and critical of ourselves. What if we started with self-kindness and made a commitment to be kind to ourselves, regardless of the circumstance, situation, or outcome? On this episode, I talk about how important this is and I share some specific techniques for how to accept, appreciate, and have compassion for ourselves.
