Why Are We Always So Hard On Ourselves - Episode 23

We are our own biggest and harshest critic. Oftentimes, we are making more progress towards our goals than we think. In this episode, Linda and Will talk about their own struggles with being hard on themselves and forgetting to celebrate the small victories in life. It’s so easy to fall into the trap of always only focus on what we don’t have, what we haven’t done yet or how far behind we think we are compared to others. This is an important reminder to ourselves that we need to make a conscious effort to acknowledge how far we’ve come and how sometimes even the simple act of getting out of bed each morning to face life is something worthy of our praise.
