"Self-compassion is the act of accepting all parts of ourselves and treating ourselves with lovingkindness. A self-compassionate mindset helps us connect to our humanness, acknowledge mistakes and shortcomings, and perceive experiences as opportunities to heal and grow." Nancy Andres
Self-compassion is a self-care practice I've been relying on to walk through my grief, since my son died at the end of last year.
I'm prepared to share ideas and tips that helped me let go of self-judgment, critical thoughts, negativity, and guilt.
One of the most effective tools I've discovered to improve my mood is to journal write about things I'm grateful for, count my blessings, and record those things I feel will help me be kinder to myself.
Scientific research backs this up. Studies show troubled people can get major relief from focusing attention on good things in life. Those who did enjoyed a higher percent of happy days, felt optimistic, and expected the best. They were also more satisfied with their lives, which they perceived to be more meaningful, and they felt more connected with others each day.
Here's where you come in. You'll have an opportunity to learn what things can be used to support and empower your thinking and behavior.
Whether you're suffering from the end of a relationship or career, transition from one stage of life to another, or just want fresh ideas about how to treat yourself better when you feel less than, I can help you.
September is a great month to use self-compassion and you are in luck because...
I am facilitating two self-compassion workshops. I'd love to meet you at either one. 💗

Do you understand why self-compassion is so important? Explain.
Do you know simple ways to feel heard, cherished, and understood by you?
What techniques do you use to coax yourself to try something new, change a bad habit, or reframe how you look at things you see as failures?
Do you think a self-compassionate attitude would help in these situations? Why?
I read and appreciate every comment, yet do not publish those that include links. Thanks for understanding. 💗
Come to a workshop and learn how journal writing prompts, affirmations, and fun activities can help that precious person who is you appreciate, approve, and be awe-inspired by you.

DeleteNancy,
ReplyDeleteYour posts are so insightful and informative. I think there are times that we can all use a little help working through emotions. You have given us some helpful ideas.
Thank you
Thanks Judee for the visit and comment. Appreciate your kind words.Have a beautiful day.

ReplyDeleteThanks Dee for the visit, comment, and hosting such a fun blog party. Have a good week and hugs to you.
DeleteSel-compassion is such a lovely term Nancy - and your workshops sound delightful. I'm a little bit far away to attend, but if you ever do one in Western Australia I'll be there!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with us at MLSTL and I've shared on my SM :)
Thanks Leanne for the visit and comment. Would love to travel to your part of the world and someday who knows? Thanks for hosting #MLSTL, the blog party where we do share the love.
DeleteHi Nancy, it's wonderful that you're hosting these two workshops, and I know they will help many people. I am not a journaler (is that a real word?) at this time, but do understand the importance of self-care and self-compassion. It is an important part of my healthy living goal every day. Shared on SM. #MLSTL
ReplyDeleteThanks Candi for the comment and social shares. Appreciate what you wrote "understand the importance of self-care and self-compassion. It is an important part of my healthy living goal every day." Wish you a beautiful Sunday.
DeleteHow lovely, you are doing a great job helping others. I do a mindful art journal practice most days. Denyse #mlstl
ReplyDeleteThanks Denyse. Would love to see your journal. I use colored pens or pencils to write in my journal and feel art is so healing and good for stimulating creativity.

DeleteVisiting again to say thanks so much for linking up at the #WednesdayAIMLinkParty 44.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Dee. Wishing you a beautiful day.
DeleteI am so impressed with your insights! One thing I have done is learned to look for moments each day that have brought me joy, or spiritual insight or other growth. Then, when I write them down it helps me to recall them later and I realize that there is so much that us good in my life. Thank you for helping me recall that again!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your kind words. It's wonderful you know what helps you feel joy and grow and use these each day. Way to go Helen. Have a beautiful day and thanks again.
DeleteHI Nancy,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the wonderful and helpful tips on self compassion. I think it is something most of us need to do and practice daily, but sadly many people don't. I know I personally need to spend more time doing this and taking care of my spiritual needs.
Thanks Marla for the visit and comment. Spiritual care is so important to wellbeing, and I've found taking the time is so worthwhile. Encourage you in that direction. Have a beautiful day and thanks again.
