Why are we so hard on ourselves?

I had a nice long chat with a dear friend of mine today. I told her she is to hard on herself. She told me the same thing.

Why do we compare ourselves to the ads we see of size -2 women?

Why do we criticize everything we do? We don't do that to anyone else.

Why do we assume the best in others and the worst in ourselves?

Why do we choose not to see our own talents?

Why do we only recognize our failures and never see our successes?

It's time for a change.

I am and you are too. Admit it.

Don't believe me...
