Are you kind to everyone except yourself? This book will help you find the strength and courage to overcome self-criticism and simply be yourself. Do you ever feel that you're not good enough? Do you often compare yourself with friends, classmates, or even celebrities? As a teenager facing intense physical, mental, and social changes, it's easy to get caught up in self-criticism. Over time, these negative thoughts can accumulate, cloud your world, and cause anxiety, worry, and even depression. So how can you start being kinder to yourself?

Written by psychologist Karen Bluth and based on practices adapted from the Mindful Self-Compassion program by Kristin Neff and Christopher Germer, this book offers fun, everyday exercises rooted in mindfulness and self-care. They will help you overcome self-criticism and approach feelings of doubt with greater kindness and self-care. You will find practical tools to help you work through difficult thoughts and emotions and accept yourself as you accept others.

Learning to believe in yourself means being aware of the self-critical voice inside you and then discovering how not to take it so seriously. With this book, you'll learn how self-care can be a much greater motivator for achieving your goals than self-criticism. In fact, being kind to yourself when you're struggling can reduce stress and make you more resilient! So stop self-destruction and start reading this book. You have an important friend to make--yourself!
