How to be kind to yourself

SHAUN DONAGHY
About this episode

I was chatting to a friend of mine about mindfulness recently and they asked me “How do I be kind to myself?” Its a great question - we can beat ourselves up on autopilot a lot of the time, but applying mindful awareness can transform your inner critic to your greatest ally.
