3495: On Self-Compassion by Tonya Lester

Episode 3495: Tonya Lester shares a heartfelt story of a timid rescue cat to illustrate how we instinctively offer patience and kindness to others but struggle to extend the same compassion to ourselves. She challenges the myth that self-criticism drives success, advocating instead for self-soothing practices that foster resilience and clarity. With a simple yet powerful exercise, she encourages us to treat ourselves with the same understanding we’d offer a frightened child or a hesitant pet. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.tonyalester.com/blog/on-self-compassion Quotes to ponder: "You can be self-compassionate and still have high standards." "Having self-compassion does not mean shirking responsibilities or lowering your standards. It is about slowing down and attending to yourself before you move on to necessary action." "There is zero evidence that beating ourselves up emotionally leads to high performance and great results." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
