Self-Compassion: Sending Ourselves a Friend Request

Wednesday, November 8, 2017

12:00 PM-1:00 PM

Life is full of challenges: personal, professional and political. Some challenges we welcome; others we wish would just go away. The bad news is that there’s no remote; we can’t switch to a different challenge. The good news is that we can befriend ourselves in a way that makes us more resilient and better able to cope with adversity. The practice of self-compassion is a simple and powerful way to navigate the challenges that come our way. This is not selfishness or self-indulgence, but the courage to make friends with reality.
