Self-Compassion Step by Step: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself

English

By (author): Kristin Neff

Course objectives: Define self-compassion as a practice to increase happiness, optimism, and curiosity in our lives, while decreasing anxiety, depression, and stress. Discuss how self-compassion motivates with loveproviding clear vision and nurturance needed to reach our full potential. Discuss how to turn toward our emotions with curiosity, openness, and non-judgement to counter the Default Mode Network. Define empathy, self-esteem, loving kindness, and equanimity as related to compassion for ourselves, our loved ones, and all beings. Practice and utilize guided meditations and experiential exercises in mindfulness meditation, loving kindness, interconnectedness, and working with difficult emotions as a way to embrace our lives and cultivate kindness toward ourselves. Why does it feel so natural to be compassionate and kind to those we care aboutyet so hard to treat ourselves the same way? Our culture teaches us to use self-criticism for motivation and to build self-esteem by constantly measuring ourselves against everyone else, says Dr. Kristin Neff. We need to re-learn the essential skill of being genuinely nurturing and supportive toward ourselves. With Self-Compassion Step by Step, this groundbreaking researcher reveals the clinically proven power of self-kindness, with practical training for cultivating an enduring and unshakable sense of your fundamental human worthiness. Self-Compassion: The Mainstay of Happiness and Well-Being Over the past decade, an overwhelming body of research has shown self-compassion to be a master key to good psychological and physical health. Whether you wish to reduce stress, develop healthy habits for exercise or diet, unlock your creativity, or even deal with serious conditions such as depression or addiction, a strong sense of self-compassion is an essential ingredient for success. Best of all, self-compassion is a skill that can be learned. Through six sessions of teaching, Dr. Neff offers guided meditations, experiential practices, and on-the-spot techniques to help you build a strong foundation of self-compassion in your daily life. We often become our own worst critic because we believe it's necessary to keep ourselves motivated, says Dr. Neff, but in fact the research shows that healthy self-compassion increases our inner drive, our resilience to setbacks, and our ability to excel at work and in every aspect of life. With Self-Compassion Step by Step, she presents a powerful training course that is both accessible and profoundly transformativea practical approach for creating a life of greater happiness, fulfillment, and love.
