In this Podcast we talk with Anuka Gazara Anthony and Ashley Nelson about the powerful concept of self compassion and how this can be used to support community building especially with a focus on the difficulties faced by communities over lockdown in London at the moment and in the future.
Self compassion is made up of three components. Kindness, common humanity and mindfulness. We will explore the concept of self kindness v self judgement and particularly the desire to alleviate suffering (any pain or emotional discomfort- large or small) with regards to building communities.
We also will talk about the idea that self compassion builds communities because it is linked to motivation. When we exercise self compassion, we have less fear of failure more likely to try again and persist in efforts after failure. Self compassion means we have more personal responsibility and motivation to try repair past mistakes.
When brain scans are taken of people who have experienced self compassion, the motor cortex is often activated. Therefore there’s a desire to help and alleviate suffering which in the context of building communities is key.
