Self-compassion

WRITTEN BY: Jennifer Strout

All too often we are our own harshest critics.

Unfortunately for us, the research shows that this does not help us to improve, but rather, prevents us from trying.

That is why it is so important to remember to offer ourselves the same compassion that we offer to others.

By accepting that fact that we are human and that as humans we have flaws, we can move forward to try to improve ourselves a little each day. That's not to say that we won't stumble in the future- we most certainly will- but instead of looking down on ourselves at those times we need to offer ourselves a hand, pick ourselves back up, and push ahead.

I truly believe that together, as a community, we can reach greatness, and it starts with each of us being great towards ourselves.

We welcome you to join the MotivateU community as we encourage and support each other towards our full potential!
