Have you ever…
Felt guilty despite giving your best?
Struggled with the negative voice in your head?
Felt unaccomplished or unworthy despite being successful?
Wondered why you feel lonely despite meeting so many people?
If yes, then it is time to reclaim your most important relationship - with yourself.
In his new book, It Takes You to Tango,
Dr. Amit Sood, shares science, stories, and skills to help you develop a positive, nurturing relationship with yourself and overcome "inner loneliness" - in three simple steps.
Step 1.
Shed self-rejection
Eliminate shame and toxic guilt; convert guilt into purposeful action and compassion
Step 2.
Build self-worth
Eliminate hurtful comparisons;
build intrinsic self-worth
Step 3.
Nurture self-love
Develop authentic self-compassion,
self-acceptance, and self-forgiveness
Research shows simply spending more time with others fails to uplift our spirits. For instance…
Attending more meetings often increases feelings of loneliness.1
Increasing social interactions might do little to eliminate lonely feelings.2
A broken relationship with self — feeling unworthy, guilty, and a lack of self-trust — are strongly associated with loneliness and worse mental health.3-5
A positive relationship with self is thus central to your other two relationships: with people and life’s purpose.
