A short YouTube excerpt (Taking Strides with Kim | Self-Compassion) presenting a brief guided/self-compassion segment. Two speakers offer encouragement and practical prompts to treat yourself like a friend, recognize growth from mistakes, and give yourself grace so you can continue striving and getting better.
Hi.
I'm.
So glad that we're taking strides together today. Are you tough on yourself when you make mistakes? I don't really know one person who isn't at times tough on themselves and some more than others. Self compassion is a muscle that we can build. I know that. I have really worked on this for myself. So treat yourself as you would a good friend, with kindness, not criticism. Remember, we're all human. Self compassion fills our tank so that we can keep striving and getting better. Talk to yourself as you would a loved one. Think about every time you start to beat yourself out. Just take a moment to recognize what you have done, what your purpose is, who you truly are, and realize how that whatever you did, whatever it is, is helping you grow, is helping you get stronger. So just take a moment to give yourself some grace and have a really wonderful.
Day.
