On a similar note, regular mindfulness practice can make you aware of the self-criticism you have living within you, and as a result, make you wonder if there’s something wrong with you.

PSA: There’s nothing wrong with you and most people think exactly what you’re thinking (so did I).

When you sit in meditation, go easy on yourself. Most of us are filled with difficult emotions, which could be stress, anxiety, sorrow, envy, disappointment, confusion, loneliness, or one of the other countless emotions we experience throughout our life.

Kicking yourself over these emotions is natural, but it won’t help. So, it’s a habit you should work to break over time as best as you can manage.

Notice these feelings, even the feelings about the feelings, and work hard to see and to understand that these emotions aren’t who you are, but the result of your experience.

With self-kindness, you can help heal much of that.
