If only we could talk to ourselves with as much kindness, love and compassion as we do to our friends and loved ones. Imagine all the confidence boosts and pep talks, all the he/she doesn't deserve you speeches and the you are such a lovely person comforting turned back on yourself. You wouldn't do it to yourself, but maybe you should from time to time.
 
'Talk to yourself like you would to someone you love' is a quote by Dr Brene Brown, an inspirational  author and speaker on the subjects of courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy.
