The Beauty of Self-Compassion – One Person at a Time

Welcome to Day 1 of my 30-Day Blogging Challenge: Awareness

I’m challenging myself to do 30 posts in 30 days. Why? Partly in a spirit of sharing my experience of allowing myself to develop self-compassion, and feeling there may also something here of interest to you; and partly because I love writing!

My intention is […]

Self-kindness or Self-Judgement?

The last couple of months have been a Mt Everest of learning for me. Mainly around the technology to support my new self-compassion online programme for women. And last night was a fantastic example of how being able to give myself some self-compassion helped me to cope with what previously would have been a head-wrecking […]

Being You – Enjoying Imperfect

I sat in my car in the car park, set my phone timer for 12 mins, closed my eyes, and did a mindful Body Scan, followed by 10 mins of quiet breathing and meditation. All around me cars were parking, people getting out, doors banging. I drifted away to a quiet, […]

Your Choice – Your Self-Compassion

Today is about Choice. I love that word. Choice. How it feels in my mouth when I say it. The variety of sounds within that one word when I speak it. And the meanings of it. The many differing meanings of it. The importance of conscious choice in our lives.

For our purposes, I’m offering the […]

What’s your first reaction when you think of being ‘self-compassionate’?

“yea, I know I should be, but I just don’t have time”; or

“well, that’s just pure selfishness”; or

“I’ve started to give myself just five mins self-care each day, and can feel the difference already”?

Self-Compassion gets a really bad rap in today’s world of do-more/have-more/I-have-to-look-after-others-before-myself. However, well-documented […]

Self-Compassion A-B-C

My client looked at me, tears in her eyes. She’d finally admitted, in a soft whisper, that she was done. Past empty. Not just tired – way beyond that.

“What do I do now?” she murmured. “I’ve all these commitments – I love my family, my busy job travel, my mum, and other stuff. But I’m […]

Are You Beige, Square or Star-Shaped?

The priest finished his sermon at Mass last Sunday by offering this quote below:

“God has created me to do Him some definite service. He has committed some work to me which He has not committed to another. I have my mission. I may never know it in […]

Decisions … Decisions ….
Beara Peninsula, West Cork, Ireland | (c) Trudy 2015

Making a decision can be tough. So many considerations to take into account. When we solely use our conscious mind and thinking brain, our egos can get in the way, tripping us up with ‘what will people think?; what if it’s the wrong decision?; but […]
