The Key Elements of Self-Compassion, according to Dr. Kristin Neff, are:

“Self-kindness vs. Self-judgment.

Common humanity vs. Isolation.

Mindfulness vs. Over-identification.”

Self-compassion allows us to practice acceptance of ourselves. By focusing on self-compassion you will learn to listen to your own voice, trust yourself and be present during challenging times. Self-compassion allows you to truly connect with yourself and create a solid foundation that will empower you to take risks, challenge and manifest opportunities that seemed unthinkable before.  

Is your answer Yes to one or more of the following?

•    Do you feel a lack of confidence or self-worth? Do you feel like you do not measure up to others? Do you feel like an impostor at work?

•    Do you have trouble balancing your family, work and life?

•    Do you have a problem with time management and saying no? Do you worry about losing people’s acceptance if you say no?

•    Is your body or self-image making you uncomfortable? Do you feel self-conscious about speaking in public and networking?

•    Do you have trouble putting yourself first (aka self-care)? Does self-care = selfish? Do you worry too much about what others are thinking about you?

•    Do you have trouble staying focused? Do you end up feeling overwhelmed and directionless?
