Reducing Stress With Self-Compassion, Self Care & Resilience Strategies

With Dr Amelia Kelley

In this course you will learn the important of self-compassion for handling adversity and making positive changes in your life. The importance of compassionate self-talk in establishing a growth mindset will be explored as well as how to cultivate courage when encountering challenges. The course offers a series of writing exercises, meditations, visualization work and introspective opportunities to practice self-compassion in real time. The foundational tools needed for self-compassion will be explained as well as how to implement them in your everyday life. What you will gain: Because self-compassionate people see failures as opportunities to learn and grow, they tend to possess more intrinsic motivation in life. Practicing skills learned in this course regularly will increase your sense of self-empowerment and self-esteem. By practicing self-compassion regularly, it also becomes easier to admit mistakes, helping to improve relationships and the ability to connect with others.
