Practice
We can get stuck in harsh self criticism. This cycle inhibits our vitality, problem solving skills and relational connections with others. Self Compassion is the secret ingredient to any healthy behavior change or mind reset. As we become more compassionate to ourselves, our compassion for others is also enhanced.
This practice helps you become more present in your body, more focused and attuned to your situation and your current needs. It’s a great way to take a short breather or prepare for a stressful meeting or interaction.
