Being self-compassionate

 It is quite common to all of us that we tend to beat up ourselves for our weaknesses and mistakes – we become “our own critic”. 

It is said that even people, who seem to have high self-esteem, also have blamish and agonising conversations with their inner critic. 

How to rise above and get in terms with your inner critic.

One way is to have a self compassion.

Being self-compassionate doesn't mean that you  silence your inner critic. In fact,  it would evolve as a tool of survival and it will play a valuable role in our development as individuals. 

However, just like any other organ in human beings, the inner critic may becomes dysfunctional, if it becomes overactive or overused.

You can enhance your self-compassion  by changing how you listen to it. 

For example, assign inner-critic a name as if it were a real person. 

Make it as real a dialogue with inner- critic.

Being self-compassionate isn’t about denying our mistakes, bad thoughts or weaknesses. Rather, it is about coming to terms with them and accepting that we are all “works in progress”.
