When you make a mistake, at work do feel ashamed and beat yourself up about it? 

It turns out that if we applied self-compassion in those moments, not only would we be kinder to ourselves, we’d also handle our work load better as well. 

Professor Kristin Neff is a pioneer in the study of self-compassion. Her early work in the field and multiple best-selling books on the topic have seen her become recognised as one of the most influential scholars in the field of psychology. 

In this episode Kristin shares: 


🌿 The difference between self-care and self-compassion and why knowing the difference matters 


🧘‍♀️ Some tricks you can use to incorporate self-compassion into your life 


💪 How self-compassion can help you handle failure and setbacks 


⏸️ The exact way you can take a “self-compassion break” 


🙅‍♂️ Strategies you can use to say “no” to things without feeling guilty 

Key Quotes:

“As mammals we have the compassion template...we just have to give ourselves permission to use it with ourselves.” 

“Not only do we abandon ourselves, we kick ourselves when we are down.” 

“A lot of people ask me to do stuff and I often have to say no and that's kind of a fierce self-compassion practice.”
