#MotivationMonday 12.23.2019

As we start a holiday week I wanted to share a practice from one of my favorite Psychologists, Kristen Neff. Her work is focused on self-compassion. All too often our inner voice is harsh and demeaning. What would happen if we spoke to ourselves the way we speak to those we love and care about? Try practicing these three steps adapted from Dr. Neff's work. For more information on self-compassion you can go to her website: www.selfcompassion.org

Have a wonderful holiday! I will send the next #mondaymotivation in the new year!

Of all the people on the planet, you talk to yourself more than anyone. Make sure you are saying the right things. - Martin Rooney

We all have an inner voice. How kind is your inner voice? Most of us are not as self-compassionate or kind to ourselves as we would be to others. Can we change that pattern? To learn more about self-compassion, reach out! Happy to talk.

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field, I'll meet you there. - Rumi

This quote reminds me that the world is less black and white, but somewhere in between. Life and values are subjective. Self-compassion and subtle nuances and important to keep in mind when viewing situations, keep in mind there are many perspectives to consider. The less we judge, the more we love.
