It allows you to feel kind towards yourself and far less likely to engage in self-defeating behaviors.Seek Help - If you're really struggling with self-defeating behaviors, seek help from your support group. Seek help from a professional.Be Persistent - If at first you don't succeed, try, try and try again. Don't let your first attempt, and perhaps failure, rule your life.FREE EBOOKFree Digital Copy of my best selling book The 3 Alarms:https://www.ericpartaker.com/the3alarmsPlease rate and review my podcast here: https://ratethispodcast.com/eric
