“Self-compassion soothes the mind like a loving friend who’s willing to listen to our difficulties without giving advice, until we can sort out our problems for ourselves.” ~Kristen Neff, Ph.D.<\/p>\n

After we face challenges and experience emotional turmoil, it\u2019s commonplace to be self-critical. In short, we are regularly beating ourselves up for our own humanity. Fortunately, we can choose a different reaction to adversity.\u00a0During the trials of life, we deserve our own love and kindness. This is not about self-pity or self-indulgence, but rather, it\u2019s a form of compassion that acknowledges that we are simply human.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mounting research reveals that allowing ourselves to \u201cbe human\u201d is a path to greater well-being. But even without the science, if we quiet our souls and listen to our inner voices, it is clear that self-compassion will always trump self-criticism on the journey toward living a purposeful, meaningful, and engaged life.<\/p>\n

Use this beautifully illustrated journal containing six research-inspired exercises to nurture greater self-compassion.<\/p>\n
