Yo can choose to be on your own side
How often have you thought that choosing your own side makes you weaker, more selfish and lowers your bar? Here's your reminder that research shows very clearly that a more self-compassionate approach to ourselves has the exact opposite effects of that. #chooseyourside #selfcompassion #selfkindness #selflovejourney #positivepsychology #selfleadership

How to be your own worst enemy
How often have you thought that you're your own worst enemy? If I were asked to instruct someone to be their own worst enemy, this is what I would tell them.
