Resilience For These Challenging Times

A note from Kristin shared this week on: Warming our Experience with Self-Compassion 💛

Another way of dealing with the challenges and imperfections of life is to turn toward our experience with warmth and kindness. We can intentionally cultivate a stance of compassionate understanding toward our struggles, so that we feel moved to help in some way.

Even when things aren't going as we would like them to, we can be accompanied by our own caring and goodwill. We can find solace in the warmth of our own hearts so that the sweetness of our love holds the bitterness of pain and makes it more bearable.

Research overwhelmingly shows that self-compassion allows us to cope with distress while also making us more happy and satisfied with our lives.

“Tomorrow, I will continue to be. But you will have to be very attentive to see me. I will be a flower, or a leaf. I will be in these forms and I will say hello to you. If you are attentive enough, you may recognize me and you may greet me. I will be very happy.”
Thich Nhat Hanh
