Full transcript

When you catch yourself in harsh self-criticism, three lines, three minutes. One: this is a moment of difficulty. Two: difficulty is part of being human. Three: may I be kind to myself right now. Repeatable as often as it comes up. It lowers the shame loop without bypassing the problem — the thing you got wrong is still there to fix, you are simply not paying interest on it. If self-criticism is constant rather than occasional, that belongs with a professional, not a three-minute script. agegen.ai. Generate your prime age! ~~ Mr. Age
