Loving-Kindness For Self-Criticism

This meditation is designed to soften self-criticism and cultivate loving-kindness toward yourself. Often, it's so much easier to extend compassion to a friend than it is to be kind to ourselves, so this practice begins by nurturing feelings of loving-kindness toward a loved one, then gently turns that kindness towards yourself. Using repeated loving-kindness (metta) phrases, you'll experience the benefits of both giving and receiving good intentions, helping to lighten your emotional load.
