Being kind to yourself and opening your heart to others are two important aspects of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), a clinically proven program developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn. Simple mindfulness practices can enhance the experience of connection we feel with ourselves and with others.

Today we’re sharing an excerpt from an audiobook full of techniques to help you mange stress and increase mindfulness: MBSR Everyday: Daily Practices from the Heart of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction by Dr. Elisha Goldstein and Dr. Bob Stahl. If you are ready to permanently change the way you handle stress, gain powerful inspiration, and live more fully and peacefully in the moment, this audiobook is the perfect guide.

In this episode, Drs. Elisha Goldstein and Bob Stahl discuss the power of small acts of kindness and generosity — for ourselves and for others. The best place to start practicing these simple mindfulness practices may be with yourself!

Practicing generosity with yourself helps you feel “good enough” to accept kindness from yourself without guilt. Set any judgments aside and notice what it’s like to simply receive.
