Compassion for ourselves and others

from Live Less Afraid · host Michele Jones - Live Less Afraid

On this episode I share my thoughts on being critical of ourselves and those around us. I am a recovering perfectionist and I am always looking for ways to be softer and kinder to myself and those around me. Today I focus on how compassion can help us have grace towards ourselves and others. Repeat this mantra: "I give you loving kindness" Use this as a tool to begin to let go of our criticisms. Watching how we embrace criticisms and how that affects our energy and our growth. When we can let go of that, we raise our vibration, we feel better, we focus on what is good and not the negative. We also have to work to break that cycle of criticism against ourselves and others. Our brains want to fire and wire the same thoughts over and over again. So if we are stuck in a critic mindset- that is what we see and do and focus on. So if we work to rewire that thought and focus on compassion and loving kindness towards ourselves and others, we can change that narrative. I also talk about how we can love our physical body, and be grateful for it AS IT IS.  I encourage you to take an inventory of how you can show yourself loving kindness. I also encourage you to start rewiring your thoughts.  If you want to work with me and figure out how you can practice compassion, let’s have a discovery call or jump into one of my free monthly workshops. The next one is October 12th at 6pm PST via zoom. Message me for a link. I hope this helps you on your journey.
