@melrobbins: You show compassion to other people in your life - encouraging them after they make a mistake, supporting them after a loss, lifting them up when they feel down… Why can’t you show that same compassion to yourself? Dr. Maya Shankar, a cognitive scientist and expert on change, has a tool you can start using today to flip the switch: visual self-distancing. This tool creates psychological space between you and the problem you’re trying to solve. You've changed the focus from feeling like you're the problem to reminding yourself that you are capable of figuring this out. In this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, Dr. Maya Shankar is unpacking the science behind rebuilding when life takes an unexpected turn - and why you don’t need to have everything figured out to move forward. By the end, you’ll understand how to reshape the way you see yourself, stop negative thoughts from taking over, and keep going with clarity and confidence. 🎧 “If Nothing Seems to Be Going Your Way, Listen to This.” Tune in now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube now - search ‘The Mel Robbins Podcast Maya Shankar.’
