When you decide to protect yourself and not to take things personally, you avoid needless suffering. You cannot be hurt by others. Your anger, irritation, jealousy, frustration, and conflicts with others lessen. You are happier and at your best more often. Quote of the Week: "Quit worrying about what other people think and follow your heart." —Jack Canfield This Week's Power Phrase: "I don't take what other people do or say personally. I decide to protect my confidence and grit."

Self-compassion is a practice; it is not a switch we can just flip on. Self-compassion is a habit we form by practicing kindness in the moment many times throughout our day. When you are kind to yourself, then you can be kind with others. As the Dalai Lama said, "One must be compassionate to one's self before external compassion." Quote of the Week: "A moment of self-compassion can change your entire day. A string of such moments can change the course of your life." —Christopher K. Germer This Week's Power Phrase: "I am kind to myself. I am doing the best I can. I got it next time!"

Quote of the Week: Rick Hanson, PhD said: "Our brain is like Velcro for bad experiences and like Teflon for good ones." This Week's Power Phrase: "I am not my thoughts. I will not believe everything I think!"

This Week's Power Phrase: "I talk to myself powerful instead of listening to my inner critic." This Week's Quote of the Week: "It is not what you say out of your mouth that determines your life, it is what you whisper to yourself that has the most power." Robert Kiyosoki
