Deep dives
Self-compassion is a more effective motivator than self-criticism
Research shows that self-compassion is a powerful motivator compared to self-criticism. Many people mistakenly believe that being self-compassionate will undermine their motivation and drive. However, self-criticism may lead to long-term negative consequences like a sense of being unloved or unlovable, which can result in depression and decreased faith in oneself. On the other hand, self-compassion allows individuals to view failure as part of the human experience, fostering emotional resilience and providing the opportunity for growth and improvement.
