Quieting Your Inner Critic
The importance of being mindful of oneself cannot be overstated. This practice of self-awareness is a cornerstone of personal growth and development. It allows us to delve into our thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations, offering a clearer understanding of our behaviours and reactions. By being attuned to our emotions, we gain the ability to regulate them more effectively, reducing stress and promoting emotional intelligence.
