This podcast is about self-compassion. It is about taming your inner critic through emotional awareness, mindfulness and an increased understanding of your self-critical parts. Self-compassion is the act of being kind to yourself. It requires you to accept yourself exactly as you are - imperfections and all. Self-compassion is not weakness, apathy or giving up. Instead, it's understanding your strengths and weaknesses as part of a work in progress. The Mindful Self-Compassion Workbook: A Proven Way to Accept Yourself, Build Inner Strength, and Thrive

Are you kinder to others than you are to yourself? Dr. Kristen Neff is a leading researcher on self-compassion. She shares with us the multitude of benefits of self-compassion and how to learn the skill of being kinder to ourselves - and turn your inner critic into an inner ally. Kristin Neff joins us from Austin, Texas. ___________________________ Bio Kristin Neff received her doctorate from the University of California at Berkeley, and is currently an Associate Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. During Kristin's last year of graduate school she became interested in Buddhism and has been practicing meditation in the Insight Meditation tradition ever since. While doing her post-doctoral work she decided to conduct research on self-compassion – a central construct in Buddhist psychology and one that had not yet been examined empirically. Kristin is a pioneer in the field of self-compassion research, creating a scale to measure the construct almost 20 years ago. She has been recognized as one of the world's most influential research psychologists. In addition to writing numerous academic articles and book chapters on the topic, she is author of the book Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself, and her latest Fierce Self-Compassion: How Women Can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power and Thrive. In conjunction with her colleague Dr. Chris Germer, she has developed an empirically supported training program called Mindful Self-Compassion, which is taught by thousands of teachers worldwide. They co-authored The Mindful Self-Compassion Workbook as well as Teaching the Mindful Self-Compassion Program: A Guide for Professionals. She is also co-founder of the nonprofit Center for Mindful Self-Compassion. _____________________________ For More on Dr. Kristin Neff The Mindful Self-Compassion Workbook: A Proven Way to Accept Yourself, Build Inner Strength, and Thrive Website The Mindful Self-Compassion Program (8 week course) Research Overview: Self-compassion: Theory, method, research, and intervention _____________________________ Podcast Episodes You May Like Chatter & Your Inner Voice – Ethan Kross Happier Hour – Cassie Holmes, PhD Retire Happy – Dr. Catherine Sanderson The Emotional Side of Retiring – Kate Schroeder _______________________________ Mentioned in This Podcast Episode New Study: Resilience and Enhancement in Sport, Exercise, & Training (RESET): A brief self-compassion intervention with NCAA student-athletes _______________________________ Wise Quotes On the Benefits of Self Compassion "The research is very, very clear. There are both mental and physical health benefits of self-compassion. So if you think of the word in Latin - compassion -  passion means suffering. It's how are we with our suffering? And if we aren't with it in a healthy way, in other words, if we dive into it or we become overwhelmed by it, we may develop depression or anxiety or sleep disorders, eating disorders, and then it also may start affecting our health. We might have a lot of cortisol, high blood pressure, and it can have these knock-on effects. So what happens with self-compassion is when we're struggling, we're hurting in some way. If we're there for ourselves, like we would be for a supportive friend, that means we're stronger and we're more able to deal with the tough stuff without being knocked over by it. And so it's linked to better mental health, not only fewer negative things like depression, anxiety, stress, but also positive mind states like happiness and optimism. And that's because if you think about it, kindness and connectedness, these are positive emotions. So we're kind of framing our difficulty. We aren't pretending it's not there, but we're just being kind and supportive ourself to ourselves in the midst of the difficulty. And these are positive emotions that help us cope.

Cindy Esliger examines the disconnect between the increasing expectations of leaders and the lower levels of engagement in the workforce. Work is becoming less meaningful because leaders feel pressure to deliver more and there are fewer people to do that work. What part of this equation can we change so we can create the career we want?The continuing trend of trying to do more with less was meant to increase productivity but instead overburdened workers. We collectively have too much to do and no time to enjoy our accomplishments. This divide is making us disenchanted with our work. When we are constantly told “When things calm down…” but nothing ever changes, how long can we continue the grind until we realize we need an intentional change? Cindy advises that the solution is not to work even harder or faster. Instead she details how we have accepted the undermining comments and pressure that continue to keep us stuck as cogs in the machine. Cindy shares four mistakes we make that keep us trapped and away from the careers we desire: 1) surrounding ourselves with the wrong people, 2) not thinking we are worthy, 3) focusing only on what we do not want, 4) holding on when it's time to let go. She breaks all of these down in ways that illuminate a path out of the grind and into the fulfilling work lives we desire.Resources discussed in this episode:Guide for Your Moment of ReckoningAstronomic Audio—Contact Cindy Esliger - Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email

We can all relate to not feeling our best. Be it just a moment and others an endless wheel of despair. Let Zaddy's Zone and Zachary Levi bring a little levity, light and love to the topic. It ain't all sunshine as we move along with Zachary through his struggle highlighting: feelings of being on the outside looking in, achievement not equating fulfillment, performing for a "place", charity, antagonistic brains,  the self loathing spiral, tools like perspective and spirituality. Extracurriculars include endeavors along the way, a run-in with Luke, Flow, Shazam! and it all rounds into the fact that sometimes you fall apart to become whole again.Zachary is most well known for his portrayal of Chuck in the series Chuck and has starred in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and is anticipating the release of Shazam! 2. He most recently wrote a book Radical Love: Learning to Accept Yourself and Others, "I truly believe that if we can help heal the hearts and minds of everyone on earth, we will solve every other problem known to man in the process." -- Zachary LeviOur sponsor, Athletic Greens, is going to give you a FREE 1 year supply of immune-supporting Vitamin D AND 5 FREE travel packs with your first purchase.

Factors that can influence self-esteem include: Your thoughts and perceptions. How other people react to you. Experiences at home, school, work and in the community. Illness, disability or injury. Age. Role and status in society. Media messages. What are the 3 components of self-worth? Now, I say there are three ingredients; competence, confidence, and connectedness. Everybody naturally understands that if you are going to have good self-esteem, you are going to have some confidence and competence. That resonates. That makes sense. How to Value Yourself Acknowledge the Inner Critic. We all have that loud inner voice that isn't always kind. ... Receive a Compliment. ... Be Grateful for Effort. ...

My guest today is Emily Fletcher, founder of Ziva Meditation and author of the best-selling book Stress Less. Emily really caught my attention when we were chatting at an event about meditation. Meditating has never been the easiest thing for me, but something she said that day stuck with me. She said we meditate not to get good at meditation, but to get good at life. And that’s when I started actually wanting to learn to clear my mind and sit and do “nothing” for a while! Emily teaches leaders at Apple, Google, and Harvard Business School how to meditate… the question is, can she teach this Type-A mom? Episode Highlights on Ziva Meditation How a certain meditation technique can be 5x as restful as sleep for the brain Why one of the top doctors in the US says 15 minutes of meditation gives him an extra three hours of productivity a day The difference between meditation and mindfulness Why clearing the mind isn’t the point (oops!) How meditation can improve sleep, sex, and immune function Ways to incorporate meditation with kids for better sleep and calmer interactions The way terrible questions lead to terrible answers… and the ones to stop asking yourself internally And more!
