Short motivational talk on transforming self-criticism into self-care. The speaker explains that harsh self-judgment injures the self and is misinterpreted by the unconscious as self-improvement; they recommend noticing the self-critical "hammer," cultivating an open heart, and gently practicing self-care (with a webinar invitation for deeper work).
How often are you hard on yourself? And do you realize that when you're hard on yourself, your unconscious actually believes you're working on yourself and it's an illusion? When you're hard on yourself, it means you're injuring yourself. And if you can see that, ah, good. I can see I'm being hard on myself and you make the big turn. I don't want to be hard on myself. It isn't really what my unconscious believes, that I'm working on myself. No, you're hammering yourself. And what you need to develop is an open heart. See not only what you don't like, but the hammer itself. And then gently take the hammer and say, I want to develop the art of caring for myself. And I know if I do that, of course I'm going to have more love in my life and give more love in my life. Come join us at the webinar. We're going to go so much more deeply into all of this.
