Self-trust

15/30

I can imagine a puzzlement right now, why is she writing about self-trust, when she’s a self-compassion coaching specialist?

Good question. And here’s another one.

How much do you trust yourself? Seriously. Think of a spectrum from 1 – 10, with 10 being highest. And ask yourself that question. “What’s my self-trust score”?

Why does self-compassion help? How do you do it, simply and easily?

When you begin to consciously and intentionally to ‘do’ self-compassion, you will begin to see and feel subtle differences in how you are, how your life is, and how people respond to you.

Self-Compassion – Why?

Why self-compassion? (1)

10/30

So far we’ve looked at what self-compassion is, and you’ve explored your relationship with it. Over each of these next few posts, I’m going to offer a ‘why do or be self-compassion’ and offer a simple self-compassion exercise.
