Imagine a dear friend expressed the same negative thoughts about themselves that you often do. How would you respond to them?
By putting yourself in the position of a friend’s supporter, you can realize that the harsh words you often reserve for yourself are unlikely to be used for your loved ones. Reflect on why you tend to be kinder towards others than to yourself. Would your friend’s negative thoughts sound reasonable to you or would you be able to see them in a different light?
