Learning To Be Kind To Yourself

In this dharma talk, we explore the profound impact that self-compassion can have on our lives by teaching us how to be kind to ourselves. By changing our default habit of beating ourselves up or making things harder for us when we are challenged we learn how to speak to ourselves in ways that are nurturing, caring, and kind. In this way, we are able to move closer to what we are feeling, to care and comfort ourselves in a healthy and loving way. Through self-compassion we become more compassionate, empathetic, resilient, and have better relationships.

🙏very encouraging to find kind and loving words to myself and sweet phrases to keep my spirit alerted and feel cared for.

So many practical tools and tips to assist with my self compassion and self kindness practice. I especially love the many examples of phrases I can use to talk to myself kindly and compassionately.

Intention & lots of self compassion ✨️ ❤️ 🙏

I'm going set a sound that will remind me to check in to myself & ask:
Hey Sweetheart, how are you going?

Here goes 😁
