POWER OF SELF COMPASSION

Power of Self-Compassion with Kristin Neff and Chris Germer
Have you ever marveled at how some people manage to bounce right back from challenges in their lives, keep an optimistic attitude, motivate themselves to achieve lofty goals, and stay healthy and happy? Chances are, there’s a secret ingredient in their lives: self-compassion.
What, exactly, is it?
In a nutshell, self-compassion is treating ourselves with the same kindness, care, and understanding that we would offer to others when they suffer, fail, or feel inadequate. Hundreds of studies are pointing to self-compassion as one of the most powerful resources for enhancing your emotional well-being.
Many first-time participants in our course are actually wary about being compassionate to themselves. Why? Because we fear that being too kind to ourselves will make us weak or self-indulgent. Or that we need to be “tough” on ourselves to stay motivated and reach our goals. In fact, research shows it's just the opposite: Self-compassion turns out to be much more effective than self-criticism—for your success at work, health, personal relationships, and fulfillment of your aspirations.
All of us have to deal with seemingly unbearable situations from time to time. And that's when the miracle of self-compassion comes to the rescue: to help you meet inevitable crises and transform your experience through mindful awareness, a sense of common humanity, and self-kindness.
