Self compassion can be annoyingly hard to develop. It shouldn't be so damn hard to be kind and compassionate to ourselves!

But like with most skills, most of us can get better at it, if we practice!

‘Our moral intuitions about merit and personal worth are changing.’

an interview with Marion Fourcade about her book "The Ordinal Society" co-written by @kjhealy: https://news.berkeley.edu/2024/04/23/from-uber-ratings-to-credit-scores-whats-lost-in-a-society-that-counts-and-sorts-everything/

Dating shouldn’t feel like walking on eggshells.

The signs we often miss:
You’re constantly ‘fixing’ their moods
Your hobbies fade while theirs dominate
‘Sorry’ never leads to change

I stayed 2 years past the red flags—here’s how I unlearned toxic patterns (and what healthy love actually looks like).

I think it makes sense that my worth isn't based on productivity, but for now, what matters is survivability, because that's what I am capable of learning to handle.

Success can be exciting, but it can also feel pretty scary. What if life changes too much? What if people see me differently? What if I can’t handle it?

Never let anyone dim your shine! Remember, you are worth so much more than their negativity. Embrace your value and keep shining bright! #SelfWorth #StayPositive

Been thinking about being and doing. Often when I waken I think of what I am going to do, and then judge myself on whether I achieved it at the end of the day. Are you a ‘be me’ person or a ‘doing’ person? Does it need to be a choice? Even if not a binary choice, is there one you fall into more readily?

#boost #poll #SelfWorth
I appraise myself by:

“Rise above negativity! Remember, you hold the power to define your worth. Never let anyone dim your shine. Keep shining bright! #SelfWorth #StayPositive”

It’s easy to resist outwardly — to rally, to yell, to fight, to scream. These acts have power, even if they provoke more #resistance from our enemies, the cowards.
But inner resistance? That’s harder especially when your self-worth has been chipped away by the constant stream of negative societal messages.

What to do if bullying? Try consistent boundaries

1. do not writhe or waver. (Movement attracts the bully)
2. do not attempt to appease. (Any offer is interpreted as weakness and obtains thrust)
3. flee to a safe position that you could hold with support
4. then stand still. Set limits on how others treat you. Affirm boundaries (The bully will redirect attacks eventually)
5. connect: turn to a trusted person, reach out only to someone you feel well about
6. offer backing, foster, become accomplice, enjoy

Your wings are beautiful, you just forgot you had them.

It's time to remember.

A quotation from Horace

But there’s a class of persons, led astray
By false desires, and this is what they say:
“You cannot have enough: what you possess,
That makes your value, be it more or less.”
What answer would you make to such as these?
Why, let them hug their misery if they please.
 
[At bona pars hominum decepta cupidine falso
‘nil satis est’, inquit, ‘quia tanti quantum habeas sis’:
quid facias illi? iubeas miserum esse, libenter
quatenus id facit.]

Horace (65-8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
Satires [Saturae, Sermones], Book 1, # 1, “Qui fit, Maecenas,” l. 61ff (1.1.61-64) (35 BC) [tr. Conington (1874)]
