Focus on Your Self Compassion

Permission for Self-Compassion

Welcome to Day 3 of my 30-Day Self-Compassion Blogging journey: Permission’s Adventure

So yesterday’s post was about Permission.  Today’s is a somewhat fictionalised real-life example of how encouraging one of my clients during a transformational, soul-shifting coaching session to give herself permission has helped her develop S-C habits. Enjoy.

Being You – Enjoying Imperfect

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 […]

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 […]

Out of The Nest

As you may know I’ve gifted myself the joy of a lot of special reading time this year, as I coast towards my 6th decade. And I’m really loving the inspirations, challenges, learnings, awarenesses and ideas new and old that I’m dancing with. […]

Self-Compassion or Self-Judgement?

Last month’s article on my experience of trying to control my health problems elicited a huge and positive response. Thankyou to all who connected with similar stories.

There was a time, after the various operations and medical care, that I looked back on my stubbornness with a shiver of self-judgement. ‘How could you do that to […]

Is Your Control Killing You?

 Jan 2011……… I was hunched over in pain in front of my gastro-consultant. I believed I was 7.5st weight. I looked and spoke like an 85 yr old rather than the 55yr old me. I’d been visiting him over the previous ten years with increasing levels […]

The Joy of Imperfection

The Joy of Imperfection

I bet that headline stopped you in your tracks?  Allowing ourselves to be imperfect is energising, challenging, thrilling, fun, builds self-confidence and leads to all sorts of wonderful opportunities.

Notice I write ‘allow’.    Most of us live exhausting lives of quiet desperation, striving for what we believe is perfection.  We stay below the […]
