Self-compassion, the emotional attitude of bringing kindness to yourself when things go wrong, can be learned, cultivated and applied to your life with wonderful results. Powerfully linked with wellbeing, self-compassion reduces negative states including depression, anxiety and stress and boosts positive states including happiness, life satisfaction, and optimism.
In this workshop you will directly experience self-compassion and learn practices that increase self-compassion. After participating, you will be able to:
• Practice self-compassion in daily life
• Motivate yourself with kindness rather than self-criticism
• Understand the science of self-compassion
• Handle difficult emotions with greater ease
Take 2 hours out of your busy schedule to pause and train your heart and mind in the development of positive mind states. You’ll build inner strength and resilience and increase your capacity to meet life’s difficulties with courage, connectedness, and compassion.
Class is on Saturday, February 10th from 2-4 at Yoga Roots in Shelburne
