How to change the way you talk to yourself

“Being kinder to yourself” can feel like an overwhelming goal, especially if you’re used to being critical and judgmental towards yourself.

But really, being kind to yourself is just choosing, in the next moment, to be a bit more loving, gentle, caring, and compassionate. Instead of focusing on this big end-goal, focus on your next thought or action. Ask yourself: how can I be kinder to myself in this moment?

These small choices, day in and out, add up. It changes you: over time, you can become someone who responds to yourself with kindness.
