The Power of Self-Compassionate Motivation
Many of us think the only way to stay motivated is by being hard on ourselves. But research shows the opposite: self-criticism often leads to fear, burnout, and giving up too soon—while self-compassion fuels resilience and helps us reach our goals more effectively.
In this video, I share why self-compassion is a more powerful motivator than harsh self-criticism, and how kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness can create an inner coach that truly believes in you.
