Self-compassion, or the practice of being kind to yourself in times of failure, pain or when you note something you don't like about yourself instead of being self-critical, is key to practice right now to be your best more often.

When we show self-compassion, we give ourselves the same kindness as we would to others recognizing that all humans suffer and we are not alone. We can then use tools to stop being so critical of ourselves remembering we are not alone.

This week's Power Phrase: "I am kind to myself. I remind myself I am doing the best I can."

Quote of the Week: "You have been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn't worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens." - Louise Hay
