My friend…care for your psyche…know thyself, for once we know ourselves we may learn how to care for ourselves - Socrates
Whether it’s in our health, finances, work or relationships, fallibility and imperfection are unavoidable aspects of being human.
Yet we often react to our inevitable human failings with self-criticism and negativity, which lead to stress, anger, anxiety, and depression.
The antidote to this is self-compassion – an inner strength we can cultivate so we face our failings with kindness, patience, and understanding.
