Discover the power of mindfulness and self-compassion for cultivating greater peace, connection, creativity, and health in your life. Why is it so hard to change? Is it simply a lack of desire or willpower? According to the science, the answer is no. And the missing ingredient may surprise you: it's the practice of self-compassion. Too often, we try to change our lives by pushing on, and then we beat ourselves up when we don't succeed. But research shows that shame actually shuts down the brain's learning centers?every time we judge ourselves, we rob ourselves of the very resources we need to change. The surprising alternative is self-compassion. When we treat ourselves with kindness, we turn on the learning centers of the brain and give ourselves the courage and motivation to change.
