Welcome to Reverse Golden! As the golden rule states, we must treat others the way we want to be treated. Yet, what comes around must go around. This is a website to promote the movement of giving ourselves the compassion and kindness we often give to and seek from others. When we are more kind to ourselves, we are giving ourselves the warmth that we need in that moment to keep us going, and that can make all the difference. The best part about self-compassion is that it is such an effective version of compassion. The best person that knows us is us. We hear all of our thoughts and we are the most consistent pieces in our lives. As a result, we know best when we feel upset, what makes us feel better, and what doesn’t. If we are there to build ourselves in each moment, we can find strength in every moment. Being in a pandemic, many of us are distanced from our support systems whether it be friends or simply an activity or routine that was built into our days and helped us keep going. Without the support and routines we are used to, it is hard to stay true to the most ideal and productive versions of ourselves. The lack of fulfillment we normally feel from routine achievement and the lack of joy we feel in being around those we love can keep us feeling purposeless and falling into a negative spiral or despising ourselves more and more. Thus, the goal of this website is to help spread and start the movement of practicing self-compassion. Because change may be the most constant thing in our lives, but so are we. So we deserve this investment of our time and most importantly, our love. Here’s to you.
