Self Improvement & Self Compassion - with Clinical Psychologist Dr Nicola Griffiths
🌱 Self-Improvement & Self-Compassion
In this video, Dr Nicola Griffiths explores how self-improvement and self-compassion are not opposites, but deeply connected. When approached with kindness rather than self-criticism, self-improvement becomes more sustainable and meaningful. The video highlights how our compassionate selves genuinely want the best for us — and how this perspective can transform the way we set and pursue goals.
Dr Griffiths outlines three key steps to a compassionate approach to self-improvement: choosing goals that align with your personal values rather than external “shoulds”, breaking goals down into small, manageable steps, and recognising and celebrating progress along the way. This approach supports motivation, emotional wellbeing, and long-term change without sacrificing self-kindness.
