Absolutely agree about the self criticism. It is different than really looking at what we are able, what our skills are. It is easy to compare ourselves with others, but others do not have our bodies, our lives. We have our own and the only competition are ourselves. Criticism is fine if it is constructive. But it rarely is as it turns into slandering, we can be so truly terrible to ourselves. Learning to be kind to yourself is important step in the right direction. Then you can start to see and asses what's there to work on.
