What is Mindful
Self-Compassion anyway?
You probably know the golden rule, “Treat others the way you’d like to be treated.” Well, Self-Compassion is applying the golden rule to yourself.
Treat yourself the way you’d treat a friend — with kindness, empathy, love, and compassion. I promise life gets easier when you open your heart and stop judging yourself.
MINDFULNESS
Unpleasant thoughts aren’t the problem. They’re only an issue when you unconsciously react. Luckily, you can learn to observe them without judging yourself or getting sucked into negativity. Mindfulness helps you accept your thoughts and emotions, feel them, and continue moving forward.
COMMON HUMANITY
We’re all human. We go through hard things and feel inadequate, making plenty of mistakes along the way. But sometimes, we think we’re the only person suffering. Realizing that others have similar struggles makes all the difference. We’re all navigating through the emotional wilderness. You don’t have to feel isolated and alone.
SELF-KINDNESS
Gentleness and love feel much better than criticism and shame. You don’t have to be perfect. You just need to be kinder. Learn how to nurture yourself with kindness so you can be resilient and live confidently.
