Lesson Overview

1.42 – How to Be a Friend to Yourself: Being your own friend means treating yourself the same way you treat someone you care about. When you make mistakes, you don’t deserve punishment—you deserve patience. Talk to yourself kindly when things go wrong. Remind yourself that learning takes time. Being your friend also means setting limits, resting, and speaking truth to your inner critic. You can encourage yourself through challenges the same way you’d encourage a close friend. Self-friendship builds confidence because it replaces constant judgment with compassion. You stop needing approval from everyone else once you have your own. The stronger your relationship with yourself becomes, the healthier your relationships with others will be.
