Description

Self compassion is the simple art of being kind to yourself in moments of despair the way that you would for a good friend. But most of us are much kinder to our good friends than we are to ourselves. Today, I’m speaking with Dr. Kristin Neff. The top researcher for self compassion in the world. Kristin will help us understand:How self compassion can help you reduce anxiety, stress, negative head trash, and significantly increase your achievement. Why we are kinder to our good friends than we are to ourselves. Why self criticism is not a good way to motivate our selves and push ourselves to be better. Why self esteem is a fair weather fan and always turns on us when we need it most. And she will help answer the big myths of self compassion:That self compassion is a form of self pity.That self compassion means weakness. That self compassion will make you complacent. That self compassion is selfishSelf compassion has had a profound impact on the way my husband Jason and I live our lives and I hope you will give it a try after listening to this very special episode of Professional AF Hosted on Acast.
