We invite you to join @christophergermerphd as he leads us in a soft landing of offering loving kindness for the self and others โค๏ธ
As we navigate our days, taking care of all of the things, people seem to be everywhere around us. Unfortunately, it can sometimes be challenging to offer kindness in all of those interactions. Bringing common humanity into your practice involves perception of others, and that connectedness between self and others supports the feeling of kindness and humanity for all.
Join Chris Germer in his upcoming 2 session workshop โIntroduction to Self-Compassion for Shameโ.

๐ Calling all teens! ๐ Adolescence is a time of change and growth. It is the period of life reserved for rebellion and self-discovery, but as the demands in life increase for teens, this time is often fraught with confusion, anxiety or depression. For many teens these challenges lead to disconnection and isolation. Mindful Self-Compassion for Teens (MSC-T) supports teens in coping more effectively with the ongoing challenges of their day-to-day life.
MSC-T teaches core principles and practices that enable teens to:
๐ Respond to the challenges of these critical years with kindness and self-compassion
๐ค Identify their own suffering so they can learn to give themselves what they truly need
๐ค Know they are not alone in their suffering
๐ Encourage an open-minded acceptance of the struggles they are facing
๐ฑ Feel supported and accepted in an emotionally safe, connecting, and guided learning environment with peers

๐ฟโจ Join us for a special Soft Landing practice led by Sydney Spears, dedicated to exploring the rich tapestry of Black history and ancestry. โจ๐ฟ
As we commemorate Black History Month, let's take a moment to connect with the wisdom and resilience of our ancestors. Through gentle meditation, and reflection, we'll honor their legacy and celebrate the profound contributions of Black individuals throughout history.
Together, we'll take a moment to explore our own ancestral stories, embracing the beauty and complexity of our heritage. Let's honor the past, celebrate the present, and envision a future rooted in love, justice, and unity.

๐ This Valentine's Day, let's celebrate the most important relationship of all โ the one with ourselves! ๐
Take a moment today to shower yourself with love and kindness. Here are some simple ways to bring self-compassion into your day:
1. Practice mindful self-care: Take time to nourish your body, mind, and soul. Whether it's a warm bubble bath, a cozy cup of tea, or a walk in nature, prioritize activities that replenish your spirit.
2. Treat yourself with kindness: Replace self-criticism with self-compassion. Be gentle with yourself, especially when facing challenges or setbacks. Remember, you're doing the best you can, and that's enough.
3. Cultivate gratitude: Take stock of the things you appreciate about yourself. Celebrate your strengths, accomplishments, and the unique qualities that make you who you are.
4. Set boundaries: Honor your needs and boundaries, and don't be afraid to say no to things that drain your energy or don't serve your well-being.
Embrace the beauty of who you are and let your light shine bright. You are worthy of love, today and every day! ๐ #SelfLove #SelfCompassion #ValentinesDay

In times of stress, how do you find yourself responding?
Do you hear your inner critic? ๐ฃ Or do you feel tender compassion for yourself? โค๏ธ
Self-compassion is a practice that takes time to integrate into not only our everyday lives, but also into the moments when we become overwhelmed and stressed out. If you would like to bring more self-compassion into your 2024, we invite you to grab your journal & join us for this Mindful Self-Compassion practice of the Self-Compassion Break.
Let us know how you this practice went for you. What are the compassion phrases that supported you? What was your act of self-kindness? Mindful Self-Compassion is best practiced in community, so please feel free to share as it will help others who are on this self-compassion journey, too!

The power of Mindful Self-Compassion can be seen and felt when we are able to make it a part of our daily life.
Meeting ourselves with self-compassion during a stressful situation is how we can apply loving kindness when it's needed most. This week's soft landing is led by MSC Teacher Helle Laursen - she guides us through the simple practice of offering ourselves a self-compassion break.
If you are ready to learn and develop your own Mindful Self-Compassion practice, Helle is teaching our next 10-week Live Online MSC Course that begins on Friday, December 15 at 9am PT / 12pm PT. Learn more or register here: https://zurl.co/5jn9

Practicing Mindful Self-Compassion can be as simple as offering yourself a soothing touch ๐ค
A hug from a friend or loved one can make all the difference at the end of a hard day, but we can also offer ourselves that same comforting touch in the moments when we need it.
This week's soft landing guides us through the Mindful Self-Compassion practice of soothing touch. May this inspire you to offer yourself some extra kindness and compassion today.
