Self-compassion is simply the process of turning compassion inward. ┬аWe’re kind and understanding rather than harshly self-critical when we fail, make mistakes, or feel inadequate. ┬аWe give ourselves support and encouragement rather than being cold or judgmental when challenges and difficulties arise in our lives. Research indicates that self-compassion is one of the most powerful sources of coping and resilience we have available, radically improving our mental and physical wellbeing. It motivates us to make changes and reach our goals not because weтАЩre inadequate, but because we care and want to be happy.
Enter a supportive space and learn how to befriend yourself in times of struggle to grow your inner strength. As a member, youтАЩll receive access to:
