Summary

In this episode we uncover that the anecdote to shame, weakness, and negative self-talk is really compassion. Does showing yourself compassion feel unfamiliar? Maybe it's something you've only considered as an action towards others. If so, then it's time to be your own dear friend, as Cheryl puts it. As you work on your own self respect, you can drive your growth with more compassion. Cheryl Cardall is a wife and mother of 5 on a mission to strengthen families, by strengthening mothers. She is an advocate for giving yourself grace and has worked on her own self to be able to focus on the positive. She opens up about her own mental health, and the relief a diagnosis brought her. She also shares tips you can use daily to find compassion for yourself, including an experience with affirmations that changed a lot for her. To improve yourself, to grow, to even begin to respect yourself you don't need to do a 180 degree change. In this episode learn how weaknesses, even negativity, can coexist with strength and positivity. You can become your own friend, to find the connection and empathy that lends itself towards real self compassion. For those times you need a reminder of everything you've learned, get this episode's Progress Pointers by subscribing to the Go Getter Newsletter and get them straight to your inbox each Thursday.

0:00.0	You are listening to about progress. This is episode 241. Drive your growth with more compassion.
0:11.2	Now when I asked you all about what you thought about our theme for February, self-respect,
0:16.4	a lot of you described how this looks for you, and it was self-compassion.
0:21.7	Many people brought up wise therapists in their lives
0:24.6	has said that if more people practiced self-compassion,
0:28.6	they would find themselves growing
0:30.1	in ways that they are searching for.
0:32.2	Today we're going to talk about this.
0:34.0	How you can drive your growth,

0:41.0	or urgency and ambition, although those can all be great things.
0:46.1	But in fact, the foundation to really driving your growth is starting with compassion.
0:50.8	Now I feel like I know this myself, as I was recovering from my eating disorders in the beginning I was
0:56.5	Deligent about trying to recover overnight

1:11.0	I thought that I was in doing all the progress I had made before. The
1:14.8	voices in my head were not kind. They were not encouraging. They were more about guilt and
1:21.1	blame and why can't you do this and you have to do better and you
1:25.0	should be doing that. In my years of recovery I have learned that compassion was
1:30.6	key to that very thing and that compassion has now trickled down to all
1:36.5	areas of my life and ways that I am trying to grow. The only way I really
