This chapter explores the concept of self-compassion and its three key elements: self-kindness, recognizing common humanity, and mindfulness. It emphasizes the importance of being understanding and gentle with oneself, accepting the reality of life, and observing negative thoughts and feelings without judgment. The chapter highlights how self-compassion can help us cope with rejection, disappointment, and the shared human experience of imperfections and setbacks.
This week Kat is going solo to talk about self compassion. Self compassion is something that has been heavily researched, defined, and broken down by Kristen NEFF Ph.D. In her research she discovered the three elements of self compassion and in this episode you will hear all about those three elements and how inviting them into your life can create healthier relationships not just with others but with yourself.
