Episode #05 - A Simple Way to be Kinder to Yourself

from Your Joyful Life Podcast · host Michael Fall and Evan Wainberg

In this episode of Your Joyful Life Podcast, we explore what happens after you take responsibility for your experience… and then still find yourself in a bad mood.If you’ve ever understood that your experience comes from thought, but then snapped at someone you love and felt guilt, shame, or pressure to “know better,” this conversation is for you.We talk about the “second arrow,” why self-judgment makes everything worse, how to use feelings as feedback instead of indictment, and what it actually means to be gentle with yourself without excusing bad behavior.Responsibility doesn’t require self-punishment. There’s another way.⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our Facebook Group⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to our free Substack Newsletter⁠⁠⁠Interested in diving into the Joyful Life Project experiments?
