In this updated episode, originally aired in Season Two, Amy is joined by Dr. Kristin Neff to discuss the generative power of anger, the danger of rote gender roles, and the radical power of self-compassion.Kristin Neff (she/her) 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.
Today, I'm re-sharing my conversation from 2023 with Dr. Kristen Neff on the power of self-compassion. Particularly during stressful and heavy times, self-compassion is such an important concept to practice - it provides relief to those of us who feel like we're going through it alone, and it also helps us feel validated and seen - which is so much of what we're really looking for. I hope this conversation is helpful, wherever you're at and whatever you're going through. We're all in this together. Dr. Kristin Neff is currently an Associate Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. She is a pioneer in the field of self-compassion research, conducting the first empirical studies on self-compassion almost twenty years ago. 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. In June 2021, she published Fierce Self-Compassion: How Women Can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power, and Thrive, which is a must-read for all women.

Dr. Kristin Neff is the recognized pioneer in the field of Self Compassion research and the author of the important book, Self-Compassion-The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself. As individuals, families and communities we need to find a way to cope with the stress, fear and uncertainty we face. As you listen to Kristen Neff, you will hear something unexpected and important – the reasons and the research that reveal Self-Compassion as a powerful personal resource for coping and maintaining sustainability in difficult times. Kristin Neff will draw upon examples to share why self-compassion is different than self-pity or self-esteem. She will answer the paradox of why embracing our negative feelings with kindness actually empowers us, why self-compassion expands our comfort with mistakes, and fosters self-esteem as a by-product of functioning despite roadblocks. She will exemplify the use of self-compassion and Mindful Self-Compassion. We need Self-Compassion.
In today's fast-paced and demanding world, it's easy to forget to show ourselves the same compassion and empathy we extend to others. But what if I told you that embracing self-compassion could lead to a happier, more fulfilling life? It's true, and in this article, we will explore the power of self-compassion and how it can positively impact your overall well-being. Self-compassion is about treating ourselves with the same kindness, care, and understanding that we would show to a loved one. It involves acknowledging our imperfections and mistakes without judgment, and embracing our humanity. When we practice self-compassion, we cultivate a positive relationship with ourselves. We learn to be more understanding and forgiving, and that inner critic inside us gradually softens. We become more resilient in the face of challenges, and our self-esteem and self-worth improve. So how can we embrace self-compassion in our daily lives? We will delve into practical strategies and techniques that can help us cultivate self-compassion and create a more loving and compassionate relationship with ourselves. Join us on this journey of self-discovery and learn how to harness the power of self-compassion for a happier and more fulfilling life. Understanding Self-Compassion Self-compassion is about treating ourselves with the same kindness, care, and understanding that we would show to a loved one. It involves acknowledging our imperfections and mistakes without judgment, and embracing our humanity. When we practice self-compassion, we cultivate a positive relationship with ourselves. We learn to be more understanding and forgiving, and that inner critic inside us gradually softens. We become more resilient in the face of challenges, and our self-esteem and self-worth improve. Self-compassion is not about self-pity or self-indulgence. It is about recognizing our common humanity and understanding that we all make mistakes and face challenges. It is about being kind and supportive to ourselves, especially during difficult times. By embracing self-compassion, we can free ourselves from the constant pressure to be perfect and allow ourselves to be authentic and vulnerable. The Benefits of Practicing Self-Compassion The benefits of practicing self-compassion are numerous and far-reaching. Research has shown that individuals who regularly practice self-compassion experience higher levels of well-being and life satisfaction. They are more likely to engage in healthy behaviors, have better mental health, and experience lower levels of stress and anxiety. One of the key benefits of self-compassion is its role in fostering resilience. When we are kind and understanding towards ourselves, we are better able to bounce back from setbacks and failures. Instead of beating ourselves up over mistakes, we can learn from them and grow stronger. Self-compassion also plays a crucial role in our relationships with others. When we are compassionate towards ourselves, we are more likely to show compassion towards others. We become better listeners, more empathetic, and more understanding. This, in turn, leads to healthier and more fulfilling relationships. Self-Compassion vs. Self-Esteem While self-compassion and self-esteem are related, they are not the same thing. Self-esteem is about evaluating ourselves positively and feeling good about our worth and abilities. It is often based on external factors such as achievements, appearance, or social status. On the other hand, self-compassion is about being kind and understanding towards ourselves, regardless of our achievements or external circumstances. It is about accepting ourselves as flawed human beings and embracing our imperfections. Self-compassion is not contingent on success or meeting certain standards; it is a constant source of support and care. Research suggests that self-compassion may be a more stable and nurturing source of self-worth compared to self-esteem. While self-esteem can fluctuate depending on external factors, self-compassion provides a consistent and unconditional sense of acceptance and love. The Science Behind Self-Compassion The benefits of self-compassion have been extensively studied and documented in the field of psychology. Researchers have found that practicing self-compassion activates areas of the brain associated with positive emotions and well-being. It also reduces activity in the areas of the brain associated with self-criticism and negative emotions. Furthermore, studies have shown that self-compassion is linked to lower levels of stress hormones, such as cortisol. It has also been found to enhance the functioning of the immune system, improve cardiovascular health, and promote overall physical well-being. The scientific evidence supports the idea that self-compassion is not just a fluffy concept; it has real, tangible benefits for our physical and mental health. How to Cultivate Self-Compassion Cultivating self-compassion is a journey that requires practice and patience. Here are some practical strategies and techniques that can help you cultivate self-compassion in your daily life: Practice mindfulness: Mindfulness involves being present in the moment and non-judgmentally observing our thoughts and emotions. By practicing mindfulness, we can become aware of our self-critical thoughts and replace them with more compassionate and supportive ones. Challenge your inner critic: Notice when your inner critic is being harsh and judgmental towards yourself. Challenge those negative thoughts by asking yourself if you would say the same things to a loved one. Replace self-criticism with self-compassionate statements. Practice self-care: Take time to prioritize your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Engage in activities that bring you joy and relaxation. Be kind to yourself by getting enough rest, eating nourishing foods, and engaging in self-care rituals. Cultivate gratitude: Develop a gratitude practice by regularly reflecting on the things you are grateful for. This can help shift your focus from self-criticism to appreciation and self-compassion. Seek support: Reach out to trusted friends, family, or professionals who can provide a compassionate ear and support. Sometimes, sharing our struggles with others can help us gain a fresh perspective and find solace in knowing we are not alone. Remember, cultivating self-compassion is an ongoing process. Be patient with yourself and embrace the journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance. Integrating Self-Compassion into Daily Life Integrating self-compassion into our daily lives requires conscious effort and intention. Here are some practical ways to incorporate self-compassion into your daily routine: Start your day with self-compassion: Set aside a few minutes each morning to practice self-compassion. This could be through meditation, journaling, or simply reminding yourself of your inherent worth and embracing the day with kindness and love. Practice self-compassion during challenging moments: When faced with difficulties or setbacks, pause and offer yourself words of encouragement and support. Remind yourself that mistakes and failures are a natural part of life, and treat yourself with the same kindness and understanding you would offer to a friend. Create a self-compassion mantra: Develop a mantra or affirmation that embodies self-compassion for you. Repeat it to yourself throughout the day as a reminder to be kind and gentle with yourself. Practice self-compassion in self-talk: Pay attention to your inner dialogue and notice when self-critical thoughts arise. Replace them with self-compassionate statements and affirmations. Be your own best friend and cheerleader. Engage in self-compassionate acts: Engage in acts of self-care and self-compassion regularly. This could be treating yourself to a relaxing bath, taking a walk in nature, or engaging in a hobby you love. Prioritize activities that nourish your soul and remind yourself that you deserve kindness and care. Remember, self-compassion is a skill that can be developed and strengthened over time. With practice, it becomes a natural and integral part of your daily life. The Role of Self-Compassion in Relationships Self-compassion not only benefits our relationship with ourselves but also has a profound impact on our relationships with others. When we are kind and compassionate towards ourselves, we are better able to extend that kindness and compassion to others. Self-compassion allows us to be more empathetic and understanding towards others. It helps us recognize that everyone has their own struggles and imperfections, just like we do. Instead of judging or criticizing others, we can approach them with empathy and kindness. Furthermore, self-compassion helps us set healthy boundaries in our relationships. We learn to prioritize our own well-being and recognize when we need to say no or take a step back. This allows us to maintain healthier and more balanced relationships. In romantic relationships, self-compassion plays a crucial role in fostering intimacy and connection. When we are kind and accepting towards ourselves, we are more likely to be vulnerable and open with our partners. This, in turn, creates a safe space for emotional intimacy and strengthens the bond between partners. Self-Compassion Exercises and Techniques There are numerous exercises and techniques that can help us cultivate self-compassion. Here are a few to get you started: Self-compassion meditation: Set aside a few minutes each day to practice self-compassion meditation. This involves directing kind and loving thoughts towards yourself, acknowledging your struggles, and offering yourself comfort and support. There are guided self-compassion meditations available online that can help you get started. Writing a self-compassion letter: Write a letter to yourself from a place of self-compassion. Acknowledge your struggles, validate your emotions, and offer yourself words of kindness and understanding. Read the letter whenever you need a reminder of your own self-worth and compassion. Body scan meditation: Practice a body scan meditation to cultivate self-compassion towards your body. Bring attention to each part of your body, noticing any tension or discomfort, and offering words of kindness and acceptance to each area. Self-compassion journaling: Start a self-compassion journal where you can write down your thoughts, emotions, and experiences with self-compassion. Use this journal as a safe space to explore your feelings and practice self-compassion towards yourself. Remember, these exercises are tools to help you develop and strengthen your self-compassion practice. Explore and experiment with different techniques to find what resonates with you. Self-Compassion Resources and Books If you're interested in delving deeper into the topic of self-compassion, here are some recommended resources and books: "Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself" by Dr. Kristin Neff: This book explores the science and practice of self-compassion, offering practical exercises and techniques to cultivate self-compassion in daily life.

Conclusion: Embracing Self-Compassion for a Happier and More Fulfilling Life In a world that often values achievement and perfection, it's easy to forget the importance of self-compassion. However, by embracing self-compassion, we can unlock the power to live a happier and more fulfilling life. Self-compassion allows us to be kind and understanding towards ourselves, even in the face of challenges and setbacks. It helps us develop resilience, improve our relationships, and enhance our overall well-being. Remember, self-compassion is not a destination; it is an ongoing journey. It requires practice, patience, and self-acceptance. Embrace the power of self-compassion and experience the transformative impact it can have on your life.

In this episode, Tatiana dives into the dark side of diet culture – body shame. She explores how societal messages and even healthcare professionals can make us feel inadequate and unworthy because of our body size. But here's the truth: shame is not a motivator, and it doesn't lead to lasting health changes. Tatiana calls on the work of Brené Brown to explain why shame backfires, and explores the power of self-compassion as a path to a healthier body. Disclaimer: The information on this podcast is for educational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice. Please consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your diet or exercise routine. Key Points: Body Shame is Everywhere: From airbrushed magazine covers to subtle comments from family, we're constantly bombarded with messages that equate thinness with beauty and value. This can lead to feelings of inadequacy and a distorted body image. Shame Doesn't Work: Shame might make you feel bad about yourself, but it won't help you reach your health goals. Studies show that shame-based weight loss approaches have high recidivism rates. The Power of Self-Compassion: Brené Brown defines shame as saying "I am bad." Self-compassion, on the other hand, is about treating yourself with kindness and understanding, even when you make mistakes. The Three Elements of Self-Compassion: According to Kristen Neff, self-compassion consists of self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness. Self-kindness: Be gentle with yourself, you wouldn't talk to a friend the way you talk to yourself! Common humanity: Remind yourself that everyone struggles, and challenges around weight and body image are common. Mindfulness: Acknowledge your feelings without judgment. Don't get swept away by negativity. Call to Action: This week, practice self-compassion! When you have a setback, show yourself kindness. Remember, you are worthy of love and respect, no matter your size.

Welcome back, listeners! Today I'm solo on mic exploring a question that's inspired by a text chat I had with a friend: "Is your burnout preventable?" If you've ever found yourself plagued with exhaustion, resentful of all the things out of your control, and down the path to truly crippling physiological symptoms, this episode is for you. Summary: In this episode, we'll think critically about burnout, examining it from different angles. I'll reflect on a recent conversation with a friend and grapple with the question of whether burnout is inevitable or something we can fend off. We'll dissect burnout from three perspectives: "no," "maybe," and "yes," navigating through the complexities of stress management and self-care. Remember that burnout isn't a one-size-fits-all experience. It's about tuning into ourselves, understanding our triggers, and embracing the belief that we have the power to steer clear of burnout's stormy seas. Whether you're a firm believer in prevention or still on the fence, know that you're not alone in this journey. Reach out, seek support, and let's navigate through the waves together.

The End of the Day Podcast with Kari Watterson: Using Mindset Work to Live Your Best Life
"The Compound Effect is the principle of reaping huge rewards from a series of small, smart choices. What's most interesting about this process to me is that, even though the results are massive, the steps, in the moment, don't feel significant." - Darren Hardy, Author of The Compound Effect and Publisher of SUCCESS MagazineSo, why do many of us give up before reaching our desired results?According to Darren Hardy, one reason is that we haven't yet experienced the benefits of the Compound Effect.Having recently experienced these benefits in my own life, I wholeheartedly agree.When you finally reap the rewards of your consistent and persistent choices over time, you realize that what seemed like small steps in the moment were actually incredibly valuable.In this episode, I share some real-life examples of the Compound Effect in action, stemming from a commitment I made four to five years ago to take full responsibility for the results I wanted in life.Unlike goals such as losing weight or paying off debt, committing to personal and emotional responsibility for our thoughts, feelings, actions, and results can feel like unseen work with slow progress and intangible rewards.By sharing my experiences, I hope to encourage anyone doing this work to keep going so you can give yourself the chance to experience the payoff of the Compound Effect.I hope you'll take a listen (and read the book). -----Cited in this episode:The Compound Effect by Darren HardyMindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck, Ph.D.Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself by Kristin Neff, Ph.D.(Subtitle was recently updated to: Stop Beating Yourself Up and Leave Insecurity Behind)The Life Coach School Podcast with Brooke Castillo-----Original music by JMW-----1:1 mindset coaching is for anyone who wants to ask more of themselves but knows their thinking is getting in the way.If this is work you're excited to do, sign up for my free offering (a 90-minute deep dive coaching call) so you can experience firsthand how managing your mind can bring more peace, happiness, and success into your life.To book your free call, visit KariWatterson.com.------Let's connect:WebsiteInstagram: @_thisonelifeLinkedIn

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.

Professor, author, and researcher on "self-compassion" My guest for Episode #183 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is psychologist Dr. Kristin Neff. Episode page with video, transcript, and more She is the author of the books Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself, and the 2021 follow up book — Fierce Self-Compassion: How Women Can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power and Thrive. Kristin 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. 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. I learned about Kristin's work thanks to a mention of her by Dan Pink, my guest in Episode 137. In this episode, Kristin tells her favorite mistake story about passionately defending one of her dissertation students who wasn't passed by a new assistant professor. Why was Kristin being a “mama bear” and why was she called on the carpet by her department chair? What did she learn from this experience and how did she apply “self-compassion” to herself in this instance? We also talk about questions and topics including: Before talking about self-compassion, people might have mistaken definitions of compassion… how do you describe the true meaning of compassion toward others? HBR – self-compassion articles “Self-compassion vs. self-esteem” Finding the balance in acknowledging, reflecting, and learning vs. dwelling… “Having compassion also means that you offer understanding and kindness to others when they fail or make mistakes, rather than judging them harshly.” — can you share an example that illustrates that? How can we practice self compassion when we realize we have made a mistake in our work? Important to soothe ourselves before reflecting on our mistake? How we might do that? Does it help us be self-compassionate when others are compassionate toward us when we make mistakes? What Self-Compassion is not — mistaken views?

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Does beating yourself up about being unproductive accomplish anything? What should I ask self-compassion researcher Kristin Neff when I interview her?, published by Robert Wiblin on September 14, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Next week for The 80,000 Hours Podcast I'm interviewing Kristin Neff — an academic psychologist who has pioneered research into, and is strongly associated with, the idea of 'self-compassion'. We will discuss how much guilt/shame/negative self-talk help get things done, and if not much, how to reduce them. While many people believe that feeling bad about themselves when they're unproductive helps them achieve more, and that without this behaviour they'd become lazy and self-indulgent, Kristin argues that the evidence shows these behaviours to be bad for long-term productivity. Just as a good line manager doesn't denigrate a staff member who is struggling, and a good parent won't belittle a child who is procrastinating, we ought not treat ourselves so harshly. We should speak to ourselves like a good manager or friend or parent would: with kindness and understanding as well as a firm commitment to what's in our own long-term best interest. If Kristin is right, 'beating yourself up' is not only harmful to your own well-being, in typical cases it accomplishes very little. What should I ask her?

Our childhood and adolescent experiences heavily impact the development of body image issues, which lead to struggles in our relationships with food. In this episode, fellow eating disorder practitioner Sara joins us again to discuss this topic. This is something that comes up a TON with my clients so I wanted to share with you guys to help bring awareness to how your childhood/childhood trauma's have contributed to where you are today in your relationship with food and your body. *Disclaimer: we are not therapists, we are dietitian and health coach practitioners. And if you have experienced trauma, are struggling with anything or this episode resonates with you, we recommend reaching out to a therapist. Sara and I discuss: How we think of trauma and how it impacts your relationship with your body. Many clients who develop disordered eating have experienced childhood trauma. Tuning in more rather than less to your body. How perfectionism is highly associated with body image issues and eating disorders. Identifying what health means to you. Accepting your body and having radical self-love and compassion in order to heal. Recognizing the voice speaking to you in your head, is not the true voice of yourself. Eventually being able to forgive, seeking to understand and having more compassion for yourself. + more Resources talked about in this episode: “The body keeps its score” by Bessel van der Kolk M.D “Intuitive Eating, 4th Edition” by RDN Evelyn Tribole, MS, RDN Elyse Resch, MS "Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself" by Kristin Neff “How to Be an Imperfectionist: The New Way to Self-Acceptance, Fearless Living, and Freedom from Perfectionism” by Stephen Guise Author Brene Brown “The Body Is Not an Apology, Second Edition: The Power of Radical Self-Love” by Sonay Renee Where you can find and follow Sara:Website: Sunflowerhealthcoaching.com IG: sara_sunflowerhealth Facebook: Sara Vander Zwaag If you are tired of being stuck in this never ending cycle of feeling in control around food and your physique goals and then binging yet again… If you are ready to finally find peace with food, your body and exercise so you can be TRULY healthy and reach fitness goals in a way that doesn't sacrifice your life and happiness… I HAVE 2 SPOTS AVAILABLE!Click here to apply for 1:1 coaching.

When you scroll through social media apps and get a peek into other people's lives, do you feel like you're falling short in comparison and have feelings of unworthiness? What does it mean to feel unworthy, and how is it getting in the way of manifesting your desires? And, when you're struggling with self-worth, where do you seek validation in your life? Worthiness affects every area of our lives. So many of us feel unlovable, that we forget it's our birthright to exist. But, you are valuable, lovable, and worthy of living your dream life! Welcome to episode 17 of Next Level Greatness! In this episode, I'm sharing my own struggles with worthiness, and how my commitment to taking care of myself has helped me increase self-worth. Also, I explore the root cause of unworthiness, validation-seeking behavior, and how it's getting in the way of your manifestation work. This process takes place over a lifetime, but rest assured that there is nothing wrong with you, we are just human. It's a messy process that we must fall in love with. Let's do this!

Self-compassion is such an important thing to practice, yet a lot of us tend to focus on self-deprecation. We are able to be kind and gentle with the people around us, but look at ourselves in the mirror and spew hatred. In this episode, we are talking about how to practice self-compassion and what it means to be kind to ourselves. I also talk about Dr. Kristin Neff's three elements of self-compassion. So, if you feel like your negative self-talk wins you over, it's time to practice some of these exercises that I'm linking below. Thank you for listening, stay safe!

Happy Satiated Saturday! We are at that time of year where you may find yourself pulling out your summer clothing and having all sorts of judgments arise around clothes that perhaps don't fit anymore or needing to change your body to wear that bathing suit you want to wear at the beach. The idea of a "summer body" or a "bikini body" is a creation of the diet and fitness industries. Think about it...if you didn't feel like you needed to change your body for warmer weather, diet programs and summer workout bootcamps would potentially go out of business. You would find clothes that feel comfortable on your current body and go on your merry way.In this week's episode, I talk with Cherie Miller about transitioning into summer with more discernment and curiosity around the external messages you receive at this time of year, what quasi-healing is when it comes to healing patterns of disordered eating, and how getting comfortable with discomfort and compassion are huge components on this food and body healing adventure. You can also read the transcript to this week's episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/transitioning-into-summer-with-body-compassion-and-confidenceYou may have a routine of how you transition into summertime. Get curious this year if those thoughts or judgments or inner dialogues bring you into closer connection with you and the kind of relationship you want to be having with your body. You can catch those habitual reactions to your body, pause, and redirect. You get to choose how you want to be relating to yourself in any moment.

Far too many of us suffer from a lack of self-compassion. We often speak to ourselves in ways we would never speak to someone else. On today's episode we discuss our own struggles with self-compassion and explore ways we can become more self-compassionate people.Questions for Personal or Group Reflection:How kind are you to yourself? Bring into your mind the last few statements you've made directly to yourself over the last few hours or the past few days. Now consider: What messages did you tell yourself? What kind of tone did you use? How did that make you feel emotionally, physically?"Self rejection is the greatest enemy of the spiritual life because it contradicts the sacred voice that calls us the beloved. Being the beloved constitutes the core truth of our existence."Henry NouwenHave you ever considered that self-rejection can have a negative impact on you spiritually? If so, how have you noticed it affecting you? If you struggle with negative self-talk, can you name when that started for you?What seems to trigger your negative self-talk?How would you rate your own self-compassion practice on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being "I'm terrible at practicing self-compassion" and 10 being "I've never been hard on myself. Self-compassion is so easy for me!" What intentional practices of self-compassion do you incorporate into your life? If you don't have any, will you choose one to begin practicing this week?"Our brokenness is what needs to be accepted. Unfortunately, this is what we tend to reject. Here the seeds of a corrosive self-hatred take root. This painful vulnerability is the characteristic feature of our humanity that most needs to be embraced in order to restore our human condition to a healed state. The spiritual life begins with the acceptance of our wounded self." ~Brennan Manning, Abba's ChildResource mentioned: Abba's Child by Brennan ManningYou might also like Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself by Kristin Neff

We are joined by Dr. Kristin Neff, who is a pioneer in the field of self-compassion research, conducting the first studies on self-compassion almost 20 years ago. She is the author of Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself and The Mindful Self-Compassion Workbook. We discuss the power of self-compassion and how it can transform our lives. We discuss her fascinating (and groundbreaking) research into the psychological benefits of self-compassion, how to use self-compassion to overcome perfectionism, how to balance fierce and tender self-compassion, and so much more! Dr. Neff has made significant scientific discoveries about self-compassion and her research has uncovered how these findings debunk many of the cultural myths surrounding compassion today. We learn the importance of treating ourselves with kindness and care. This is a powerful interview that will help you move through the world a little gentler with yourself.
