Episode 231: The Season of Self Compassi...

April Price
About this episode

The seasons are changing and I think it’s time to change the way we see ourselves as well. It’s time for a season of self-compassion.

I talk a lot on the podcast about self-development, but none of us can truly grow and develop and reach our potential without having a high degree of love and compassion for ourselves. Without it, our quest for self-actualization can easily become an exercise in self-contempt.

Self-compassion sometimes gets a bad rap because we mistake it for self-indulgence or self-satisfaction. But self-compassion never requires you to settle for a life you don’t want. Instead, choosing self-compassion simply means making a commitment to treat yourself with kindness, patience, and love as you as you experience your life and do the work of creating your future.  You can grow and develop in any way you want but you never have to bully yourself into it. 

Join me on the podcast today where I encourage you to embrace a new season of self-compassion and show you how to trade your contempt and frustration for understanding and love.
