self-compassion training
Self-compassion provides emotional strength and resilience, allowing us to admit our shortcomings, motivate ourselves with kindness, forgive ourselves when needed, relate wholeheartedly to others, and be more authentically ourselves. Rapidly expanding research demonstrates that self-compassion is strongly associated with emotional wellbeing, less anxiety, depression and stress, maintenance of healthy habits such as diet and exercise, and satisfying personal relationships. And it’s easier than you think.
Self-compassion is a powerful practise of turning towards difficult feelings with a spirit of openness, acceptance and curiosity, and then responding with kindness, empathy and understanding. The rewards of learning self-compassion include:
*the capacity to handle difficult situations and emotions with greater ease
* being able to motivate yourself with kindness rather than criticism
* handling challenging relationships better * increasing resilience and preventing burn-out
* finding more joy and happiness in daily life
The good news is that self-compassion is a skill that can be learned by anyone, bringing a greater sense of ease, happiness and better health. Anna teaches mindful self-compassion (MSC) as an 8-week programme in Auckland, New Zealand, as well as offering intensives, short workshops and day seminars by design.
