We sometimes hold the view that being self-critical is a way to ensure that we do better next time - try harder, think smarter, be more careful. But is being hard on ourselves really the best motivator? Our newest blog post explores the difference between self-compassion and self-criticism as they relate to self-esteem, confidence, and motivation. https://www.newlightcounsellingnl.ca/i-love-me-i-love-me-not

Got a lot on your mind? We get it. Whether it's worrying about an upcoming exam, your next shift at work, or completing your to-do list, anxious thoughts can quickly become overwhelming.

The truth is - life can get in the way! Whether it's work, school, parenting, or daily responsibilities, things can get overwhelming. Taking the time to relax and unwind can sometimes leave us feeling guilty - we tell ourselves there just too much to do! However, giving yourself permission to unwind means allowing yourself to replenish your energy and motivation - getting you back to feeling your best and ready to take on whatever comes next.
