Why Self-Compassion Matters More Than You Think

Text your thoughts and questions! (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/tex...) So many of us are quick to say things like, “I need to be kinder to myself,” and I think we truly believe that. But the minute we fail to get something done, lose track of time, or struggle, our inner voice turns harsh. For us high achievers, especially, this is an unfortunate natural reaction. The problem is that we don’t realize how much that critical inner voice is costing us. This week, episode 301 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about why self-compassion matters more than you think! In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I’m diving into why the “try harder” mentality often backfires, and I give you actionable steps to take right now to practice self-compassion as the necessary foundation for true productivity and emotional regulation.  Key takeaways: • Self-compassion isn’t a vague feeling; it’s a system of self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness.  • While self-awareness is the ultimate productivity tool, self-compassion is the environment that makes those tools work.  • Your brain interprets self-criticism as a threat, triggering increased cortisol and bodily tension. In contrast, self-compassion helps regulate your nervous system.  • Self-compassion is not about lowering your standards but about being honest without being cruel, making it more likely that you’ll take responsibility and repair mistakes. • Self-compassion is a skill that can be practiced and developed over time, even if it feels unnatural at first. Self-compassion isn't about being nice to yourself when things are going perfectly; it’s about how you respond in the moments you lose momentum or fail to meet the plan. This week, try to simply notice your inner dialogue without trying to fix it. Awareness without judgment is your first step toward a more resilient life. Thank you for listening!
