Tools for being nicer to yourself (which can pay off)

Self compassion infographics

This link is ok and I have verified it. Of course, anybody can write that, even if it isn't true.  A name that comes up often with self compassion is Prof. Kristen Neff of the U of Texas at Austin.  She is in the ed psych department and emphasizes that many people are too hard on themselves.  Parents, personality and social encouragement toward self-criticism can combine, resulting in discounting one's worth and value and good sense.

Some of the charts linked above can be helpful as tools or reminders, used in changing habits or automatic reactions or inner putdowns.
