COURSE
5 Steps To Change, With Practical Compassion
With Henny Flynn
When we consider making or managing changes in our lives we need to create our own personal blend of practical action and deep self-compassion. Often we ignore our inner needs, believing we just need to ‘get on’ - or we can get so lost in our internal stories that actions fall by the wayside. In this short course, we’ll be exploring the 5 Steps that can help us with any change - whether it’s something we’re seeking to create, or something that feels like it’s being thrust upon us. Through the course, we’ll look at how we can shift from limiting thinking into seeing what’s truly possible. We'll see how bringing flexibility to our goals can help us get closer to where we want to be. We’ll understand how change changes - and how our approach to it can change too. We’ll also hear why it’s so important to treat ourselves with kindness. And we’ll learn why asking for, and accepting help can be one of our most compassionate acts. Each day I’ll share one of these steps, along with a brief mindfulness practice and a journaling prompt, for you to extend your own self-reflections.

Excellent course! The last meditation practice was wonderful. I was amazed with the imagery exercise. I felt my loved one near me and for the first time was able to feel compassionate towards myself. Thank you

Henny’s gentle voice and approach along with her messages are very comforting and reassuring as well as quite straightforward and grounded. It was encouraging and yet did not shy from harder truths about change.

Great course. Day 5 was my favorite I really enjoyed the part about letting people walk beside me and not fix me. And doing the same for others. and it’s OK to move on from teachers and guides when you’re ready.
