So be easy on yourself and don't judge yourself for judging yourself. And frankly, it took me A Good Year before I could stop judging myself.
Ever catch yourself in a spiral of self-criticism? Margaret Paul PhD dives into this all-too-common habit in this episode of 'Inner Bonding'. If you've ever felt weighed down by thoughts of not being good enough or constantly berating yourself for mistakes, this episode is a must-listen. Dr. Paul explains how self-judgment is a sneaky form of self-abandonment that can keep you feeling stuck, anxious, and even depressed. But why do we judge ourselves so harshly? Dr.
Paul unpacks the reasons behind this destructive behavior and offers practical steps to break free from it. Imagine treating yourself with the same kindness you’d offer a friend. Dr. Paul argues that just like children thrive on encouragement rather than criticism, adults too perform better when they are compassionate towards themselves. She sheds light on how self-judgment is often an addiction—a way to protect ourselves from pain, yet it only brings more suffering.
What’s intriguing is her take on successful people who are still unhappy because they judge themselves harshly. Success, she says, doesn't equate to joy if you're constantly beating yourself up. The key to breaking out of this negative cycle is self-compassion. Dr. Paul emphasizes that understanding and changing our self-critical thoughts can pave the way for emotional healing. Through the practice of Inner Bonding, she shares how we can heal from anxiety, depression, anger, shame, and even relationship problems.
So, if you're ready to swap self-criticism for self-love, tune in and let Dr. Paul's wisdom guide you towards a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
