Boost your self-compassion (part one) The majority of us are pretty good at criticising ourselves and spend far too much time listening to that inner critic, which in turn effects our self-esteem, our energy levels and general happiness. By cultivating more self-compassion we can ensure a more positive environment for our minds and relationships (with ourselves and others) to flourish. Using her training in Compassion Focused Therapy, Nathalie will be sharing an overview of how to cultivate a more compassionate mind, including compassionate mind exercises which you can start using right away. This week Nathalie introduces two fundamental components of creating a compassionate mind; acceptance of the human brain and self-soothing exercises. This includes a simple 5 minute exercise which is perfect way to calm the mind over the busy Christmas period.
