226: Self pity and how to overcome feeling sorry for yourself

Let's Talk About Mental Health with Jeremy Godwin

Feeling sorry for yourself can rob you of your joy and self-worth, and it can make it hard to find the motivation you need to work through challenges and create positive change in your life. But the good news is that there are ways you can work through self-pity in order to feeling more positive and optimistic, and that’s what I’m talking about this week in the latest episode of the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast!

I’ll be talking about what self pity is, the impact self pity has on your mental health, and how you can overcome self-pity and be more compassionate towards yourself.

Ready to finally let go of self-pity and live a happier life? Then let’s talk! 🙂
