Three Ways to Cultivate Self-Compassion | Part 1: Shift Your Paradigm

In my last article, What We’ve Got Wrong About Self-Compassion, I wrote about how self-compassion can help us survive and thrive during difficult times and how our misunderstanding of self-compassion often prevents us from practicing it.

How to cultivate self-compassion? It is more than going to the spa or having retail therapy when we are down. In this article, I would like to focus on a systematic and sustainable approach to self-compassion that can alter your relationship with yourself for the better.

Goodbye, 2016! An Year-End Reflection
