The Happier Life Project's Self-Love Sessions

So many of us learn to measure our worth by what we do, how productive we are, how useful we are, how much we achieve. But who are you when you’re not performing?

In Day 7 of The Happier Life Project's 14 Days of Self-Love mini-series, this episode invites you to reconnect with who you are beyond your output. Not what you do, but who you are.

The Happier Life Project's Self-Love Sessions

The voice you hear most in your life is your own.  According to the National Science Foundation, 80% of our thoughts are negative and 95% of our thoughts are repetitive. That is a lot of negative, repetitive thoughts! 

So what if that voice felt kinder?

In Day 2 of The Happier Life Project's mini series 14 Days of Self-Love, we focus on the way you speak to yourself... especially in har...
