125 \\ Want to Know What’s True for You? | How to Practice Self-Compassion and Tame Your Inner Critic

When we think of compassion, it sounds cute and tender.  Have you ever considered compassion to be fierce?

The quintessential question of self-compassion is “What do I need right now?” and more specifically “What do I need to help alleviate my suffering?” The answer to this question changes depending on the circumstances. 

Tender self-compassion involves “being with” ourselves in an accepting way: comforting ourselves, reassuring ourselves that we aren’t alone, and being present with our pain. Fierce self-compassion involves “acting in the world” to alleviate suffering. It tends to involve protecting, providing for, and motivating ourselves. Sometimes we need to stand tall and say no, draw boundaries, or fight injustice.

Mindful Self-Compassion combines the skills of mindfulness and self-compassion, providing a powerful tool for emotional resilience.

Tune in to learn about fierce self-compassions and how this can transform your relationship with you and others.

 

Until next time, 

Stay blessed!
