Treat Yourself Like Someone You Are Responsible for Helping (published in 2021)

Here’s an idea worth pondering:

Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping.

For reasons I don’t fully understand, we tend to treat ourselves way too harshly. As the saying goes, “we are our own worst critic.” It seems we always compare ourselves to others, especially those we deem “better” or “superior” than us. Why can’t we stop that? Or maybe an even better question is what would happen if we stopped doing that? Imagine how much more confident and just happier you would be if you ceased all comparisons that made you feel shitty and instead recognized that which you like about yourself. Take it one step further and actually make changes that you see in your ideal self.
