Talk to yourself...

Talk to yourself like you would to someone you love.

— Brene Brown (An American research professor in The Graduate College of Social Work at the University of Houston. She has spent the past two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame and empathy and is the author of five #1 New York Times best sellers: The gifts of Imperfection, Daring Greatly, Rising Strong, Braving the Wilderness and her latest book Dare to Lead, which is the culmination of a seven-year study on courage and leadership. Brown’s 2010 TED talk - The Power of Vulnerability - is one of the top five most viewed TED talks in the world, with over 35 million views).

My favourite therapist says we have to learn how to manage our Ego (Ego = identity/self-awareness) to allow for vulnerability and better quality relationships. Joel Brass teaches very enlightening seminars on this sort of thing. Changed my life, that’s for sure. Eternal thanks Joel.
