Self-Compassion: Treat Yourself as a Coach Would
Adopt the approach of a supportive coach when engaging in self-talk. A good coach acknowledges mistakes without being harsh, focusing on resilience and personal growth instead of criticism. By cultivating an inner mentor, you can address feelings of anger with understanding rather than self-deprecation. Recognize moments of frustration as opportunities for improvement, emphasizing that it’s okay to make mistakes and offering the chance to apologize and learn. This constructive inner dialogue can significantly reduce stress and promote emotional calmness.
