The Power of Self-Compassion: Replacing Critical Language with Kindness

We explore the practice of replacing self-critical language with compassionate language during overwhelming times, especially as we juggle multiple roles during the pandemic. Research confirms a direct relationship between self-compassion and personal growth, making it easier to acknowledge and learn from challenges.

• Introduction to Dr. Kristen Neff's self-compassion break practice
• Exploration of three components: mindfulness of suffering, shared humanity, and self-kindness
• Guided practice using compassionate phrases like "This is a moment of suffering" and "I am not alone"
• Technique of using your own name when speaking kindly to yourself
• Physical self-soothing gestures like placing a hand on your heart or shoulder

Visit Dr. Kristen Neff's website at selfcompassion.org for more resources on developing self-compassion. Remember, you are enough.
