The Happier Life Project's Self-Love Sessions

You’ll explore: • Where your “shoulds” come from • How comparison shap...
The Happier Life Project's Self-Love Sessions
Few things hurt as quietly as feeling unchosen; not picked, not invited, not replied to, not prioritised. And when it happens, it’s easy to turn that pain into proof that something is wrong with you.

Making mistakes is part of being human, but the way we talk to ourselves afterward can be far more painful than the mistake itself. In Day 6 of 14 Days of Self-Love, we focus on what happens after you mess up: the shame, the self-blame, and the stories you tell yourself about who you are.
You’ll explore: • Why mistakes don’t define your worth • How to stop turning moments into identity ...
The Happier Life Project's Self-Love Sessions
