Speaker 1: Yo, yo yo, what's good? Fam Zayden Cruz here your
Speaker 1: weekly dose of dopamine disruption. We're diving deep into a
Speaker 1: topic that's straight fire self compassion. Why Because, let's be real,
Speaker 1: gen z is running on fumes. Between the constant pressure
Speaker 1: to be insta perfect TikTok trending and surviving college or
Speaker 1: whatever adulting thing you're doing, it's easy to forget about
Speaker 1: that one person who needs your love the most. You
Speaker 1: ever feel like you're a walking checklist of anxieties. You
Speaker 1: know that feeling when your brain is on overdrive judging
Speaker 1: every little move you make. Yeah, Self compassion is basically
Speaker 1: the mental health MVP, and I'm here to spill all
Speaker 1: the tea. First things. First, stop beating yourself up for
Speaker 1: messing up, like seriously, chill. We're human, not robots programmed
Speaker 1: for perfection. Remember that time your fave influencer crashed and
Speaker 1: burned on social media. They probably felt a wave of
Speaker 1: self doubt too. Point is, everyone stumbles. It's how we
Speaker 1: bounce back that matters. Treat yourself with the same kindness
Speaker 1: you would offer your bestie after a bad breakup or
Speaker 1: when they just ate an entire pizza by themselves. No
Speaker 1: judgment here. Number two, ditch the negative self talk. That
Speaker 1: inner critic, Yeah, that voice telling you you're not good enough,
Speaker 1: smart enough, are pretty enough? Time to mute that sucker.
Speaker 1: It's like listening to a broken record on repeat, except
Speaker 1: this one is playing your deepest insecurities. Replace those toxic
Speaker 1: thoughts with positive affirmations. Start small. I am capable, I
Speaker 1: am worthy, I am learning and growing. You got to
Speaker 1: train your brain to think differently. Fam Third, embrace your imperfections.
Speaker 1: It's what makes you unique. Like that weird mole on
Speaker 1: your face, that wonky tooth. Those are your quirks, your story,
Speaker 1: own them. Perfection is overrated anyway, Think about it. Wouldn't
Speaker 1: the world be hella boring if everyone was exactly the same.
Speaker 1: We need those little differences to make things interesting. Number four,
Speaker 1: Practice gratitude. It sounds cheesy, I know, but seriously, focus
Speaker 1: on the good stuff. What are you grateful for today?
Speaker 1: That warm cup of coffee, your squad, the fact that
Speaker 1: you survived another zoom meeting. Dwelling on the negative is
Speaker 1: a surefire way to drain your energy, shift your perspective
Speaker 1: and appreciate the little things They add up and last,
Speaker 1: but not least, remember you are enough just as you are.
Speaker 1: No need to chase validation from likes. Followers are that
Speaker 1: unattainable social media ideal. Your worth isn't measured by how
Speaker 1: many people follow you online. It's about your inner compass,
Speaker 1: your values, and the impact you make on the world,
Speaker 1: even if it's just making someone laugh. All right, let's
Speaker 1: talk Oprah for a sec She's basically the queen of
Speaker 1: self love in achieving greatness, right, but even she had
Speaker 1: her struggles before becoming a global icon. Oprah faced rejection, setbacks,
Speaker 1: and plenty of inner critic noise. She talked about how
Speaker 1: she used to struggle with self doubt and feeling like
Speaker 1: an outsider, but she didn't let that define her. Instead,
Speaker 1: she channeled those experiences into fuel for her success. Think
Speaker 1: about it, open who build a multimillion dollar empire from scratch,
Speaker 1: proving that even when you feel like the world is
Speaker 1: against you, you can overcome anything. So what did Oprah learn?
Speaker 1: She embraced vulnerability, learned to forgive herself, and most importantly,
Speaker 1: treated herself with unwavering kindness. That's the secret, Sauce fam Self.
Speaker 1: Compassion is in weakness, its strength. It takes courage to
Speaker 1: acknowledge your imperfections, but it sets you free to be
Speaker 1: your authentic self. Remember self compassion isn't a one time fix,
Speaker 1: It's an ongoing journey. Be patient with yourself, celebrate your
Speaker 1: wins and learn from your stumbles. You got this all right, Fam,
