Listen "The Inner 5-Year-Old: How to Trick Your Adult Brain Into Radical Self-Compassion"
Episode Synopsis
Highlights the importance of practicing self-compassion by inviting people to view their adult lives through the eyes of their younger selves. It explains that although most individuals know they should be kind to themselves, they often struggle to put this into practice. To bridge that gap, it suggests an exercise in which a person imagines a vulnerable five-year-old accompanying them throughout a typical, stressful day of work, errands, and social obligations. Seeing routine adult pressures from a child’s perspective makes the emotional and physical toll of modern life far more visible. By acknowledging this underlying fragility and offering themselves the same gentle concern they would extend to a child, people can move toward a kinder, calmer adulthood and reduce stress-related issues like anxiety or migraines.Produced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
