Be kind with yourself

Cultivate Your Inner Advocate. We’re all familiar with the inner critic. It’s that little voice in our heads that’s quick to judge and is always ready with a put down. Well, it’s time for your inner critic to meet your inner advocate.

And who exactly is this inner advocate? It’s another voice in your head: the one that defends you. When your inner critic comes at you with ridicule and scorn, your inner advocate jumps in and presents arguments on your behalf. While your inner critic is against you, your inner advocate is for you.

Be kind to yourself by cultivating your inner advocate (mine wears Armani suits and carries a black leather Gucci brief case).

How to think about a problem

“How to think about a problem:

The first step is to make the problem specific;

The second step is to form theories freely of how to rid yourself of that burden;

The third step is to develop in foresight the consequences of your proposals;

The fourth and final step in thinking is to compare the consequences of your proposals to see which is best in the light of your scheme of life as a whole;

Whether you choose a vacation or a spouse, a party or a candidate, a cause to contribute to or a creed to live by—think!”
