Become your own best friend and reap the life-changing benefits!
Being kind to yourself might sound simple, but self-compassion can change your life dramatically (and most of us are WAY kinder to others than to ourselves) Self-Compassion For Dummies will help you discover self-critical thoughts and self-defeating behaviors that are holding you back from fulfilling your potential and explore how you can learn to work around these things to find your way to more joy and satisfaction. We often think being hard on ourselves will help motivate us to be better people, but Dr. Steven Hickman’s review of the research finds that just the opposite is true. When you learn to love and appreciate yourself completely (as an imperfect human with messy feelings and uncomfortable thoughts), you free yourself up to achieve great things. This book will show you how!
Befriending yourself and coping mindfully with the challenges of everyday life is easy with this practical guide. You’ll learn how to give yourself a taste of your own medicine by turning understanding, acceptance, and love—stuff you already do for others all the time—inward.
- Discover the research behind self-compassion and learn how it can help you face your insecurities and life a fuller life as a result
- Cultivate feelings of self-worth, acceptance, and love for someone who really deserves it—you!
- Explore the potential of self-compassion to address self-criticism, perfectionism, shame, self-doubt, anxiety, and anger
- Work through evidence-based exercises and practices to easily master the art of self-compassion as a daily way of being and not just an esoteric exercise
Now more than ever, we need to offer support and love to ourselves. Thankfully, this is a skill we can all develop with a little help from Self-Compassion For Dummies.
