In this episode of the "Get Positively Inspired" podcast, we embark on a heartwarming journey into self-compassion. Guided by our experienced mindfulness coach, we uncover the ancient roots of being kind to oneself and the profound benefits it offers. We distinguish between self-esteem, which can be fleeting, and self-compassion, which offers consistent support. Three core elements of self-compassion are unveiled: treating oneself with kindness, recognizing our shared human experience, and practicing mindful awareness without getting lost in emotions. Embracing self-compassion not only brings personal joy and resilience but also deepens our connections with others. Join us in understanding the transformative power of self-compassion and the art of being our own best friend.
