Beating up on self. We do that. A lot. If a friend came up to you and confessed a painful moment, a moment she is not proud of, what would you say to her? Would you berate her, tell her she is worthless, nothing? Would you remind her of all of her mistakes over and …

When we are Critical of Ourselves
Beating up on self. We do that. A lot. If a friend came up to you and confessed a painful moment, a moment she is not proud of, what would you say to her? Would you berate her, tell her she is worthless, nothing? Would you remind her of all of her mistakes over and …
Self Care
When I find myself reading the news, listening to the news, going on social media, I find myself irritable, hyper, overwhelmed and sad.
