#820: Having A Hard Time?

Having a hard time? Yeah, everybody goes through hard times. You're not alone. But here's what gets lost when life feels like a shit show: kindness to yourself. Not the bullshit "be kind to your neighbor" stuff—real kindness to YOU. When everything's falling apart, we get lost in all the circumstances and stories instead of asking: How can I be kind to myself right now? Most of us can think those thoughts, but actually feeling it and living it? That's the hard part. In this episode, Tracy explores: * Why we exhaust ourselves beating up on ourselves during hard times * How avoidance and numbness keep us stuck in struggle * The difference between problem-solving and actual self-compassion * Why being honest about where you are IS kindness * How small promises to yourself create real change "It's not about the tenacity to get to the goal, it's actually the tenacity to be kind to yourself. The tenacity meaning staying on track." ~ Tracy Crossley
