Serene Minds

How can we show ourselves compassion during difficult times?

In this episode, Anaïs shares the three components of self-compassion based on MBSR, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction.  

1. Mindfulness vs over-identification

Mindfulness is about observing your thoughts, feelings and emotions as they are, without judging them and identifying with them. 

2. Kindness vs self-judgment

Being warm and loving to ourselves, not matter what difficulty we are facing. You want to comfort yourself and help yourself to do whatever you can to make yourself feel better in that moment.

3. Common humanity vs isolation

When things go wrong, we feel really cut off from others. While in fact, this is what makes us human. In fact, being human means being imperfect. Life goes wrong sometimes.
