Manage episode 260073246 series 2487233
Practicing mindfulness helps us manage stress and can also help you become more resilient in the face of challenges. Being mindful also means having compassion for yourself. Practicing self-compassion and loving-kindness meditation reduces negative emotions, increases positive emotions, fosters resilience and Self-compassion helps us feel more connected to ourselves and others, even when we are apart from each other. This episode covers the 3 components of self-compassion followed by a loving-kindness meditation.
