Looking Backward Can Move Us Forward

Yen: We have to reframe how we think about the regret and ourselves. When we make mistakes, when we screw up, the way we talk to ourselves is cruel. Self compassion essentially says this, treat yourself with kindness rather than contempt. Recognize that your mistakes are part of the human condition. And also, any mistake, any screw up, is a moment in your life, not something that fully defines your life. Yen: Imagine making a phone call to the u Of ten years from now. The reason you can't banish grief is because it's terrible. But if you can grieve for what you've lost, then love who you're still able to be.
