Ready to Stop Judging Yourself?

Posted on May 23, 2018



"I was tired of listening to my harshest critic, the little voice in my head, so I became more KIND to myself." -Member of MyHeartDiseaseTeam

You may judge yourself and others
every day without realizing it. Like many members of MyHeartDiseaseTeam have found, living with heart disease is an exercise in frustrating moments.
