b"Big Idea Tuesday\\xa0\\nWhat's the difference between being necessarily hard on yourself versus unnecessarily?\\nBeing necessarily hard on yourself is essential for growth and becoming the best version of yourself. It\\u2019s allowing you to face a challenge, step outside of your comfort zone, or push yourself to deal with something difficult. It\\u2019s not easy, but it\\u2019s worth it.\\nHowever, being unnecessarily hard on yourself, beating yourself up after a \\u201cfailure,\\u201d or being judgemental or hypercritical of yourself (or others) gets in the way of creating the life you desire.\\xa0\\nIn today\\u2019s Big Idea Tuesday, Dhru discusses exactly why you\\u2019re so hard on yourself, but more importantly, how to stop.\\nHe covers three big concepts to recognize when we fall into this mindset:\\n1. Being self-critical and/or hard on yourself has consequences.\\n2. A lot of the self-critical thoughts we have are not our own.\\n3. There's always something in it for us, why else would we keep doing it?\\nDhru says there\\u2019s a reason we keep our patterns alive, but awareness is key to breaking free.\\nTune in to hear more.\\nInterested in joining Dhru\\u2019s Broken Brain Podcast Facebook Community?
