Self-compassion is a powerful practise of turning towards difficult feelings with a spirit of openness, acceptance and curiosity, and then responding with kindness, empathy and understanding. The rewards of learning self-compassion include:
*the capacity to handle difficult situations and emotions with greater ease
* being able to motivate yourself with kindness rather than criticism
* handling challenging relationships better * increasing resilience and preventing burn-out
* finding more joy and happiness in daily life
The good news is that self-compassion is a skill that can be learned by anyone, bringing a greater sense of ease, happiness and better health. Anna teaches mindful self-compassion (MSC) as an 8-week programme in Auckland, New Zealand, as well as offering intensives, short workshops and day seminars by design.
