Having your own back is a skill we are born with. Â
Think of a toddler learning to walk; That baby will get back up with every fall down. You’ll not see a toddler sitting on the floor, wondering if they should get up and learn to walk.Â
Just like self-love, having our own back is often unlearned in favor of self-criticism.Â
But we can relearn to have our own back!Â
Having our own backÂ
Learning to have your own back is the process of developing an internal culture of unconditional self-compassion Â
It is being your own best friend and treating yourself in a respectful and supportive way.Â
Having your own back means that no matter what, you will fight for your own potential, not limitations as imposed by diet culture or patriarchy. Â
Learning to have your own back is training your brain to make the choice to have your own back.Â

- Understanding that failure is an opportunity to learn – failure capacityÂ
