How to Quiet Your Inner Critic with Dr. Kristin Neff

We Can Do Hard Things

NOTE

Cultivate Compassion for Yourself

Recognizing the efforts of the self-protective instincts highlights the complexity of our internal systems. While these instincts, honed over years, are aimed at ensuring safety, they are often ineffective. In contrast, the attachment or care system, designed to nurture and support others, showcases our capacity for compassion and connection. This system is typically activated in response to the needs of others, such as friends or family. However, individuals can learn to redirect this compassionate instinct inward, applying skills like active listening, empathy, and support not only towards those we care for but also towards ourselves. Embracing this ability can foster a greater sense of self-compassion and emotional well-being.
