Vision, Plan, Goals, Marketing, Sales, Clients, Customer Service, Time Management, Team, Delegation, Family, Friends; What about YOU?

This blog is one of a series of blogs that relates to a speaking presentation that I am giving at the GAMA LAMP Conference March 11-14, 2018, in Nashville, TN: Becoming a Compassionate, Inspirational Leader and Manager.

You are thinking and giving all day long; the missing link to achieving and sustaining your long-term goals is getting out of your head and into your heart.

Here is a list of Self-Compassion practices;

• Stop thinking of self-compassion as self-indulgence
• Start small with simple acts of self-care
• Express gratitude
• Write a letter to yourself and read it out loud
• Let go of external approval
• Foster acceptance
• Don’t give in to the internal critic – change your internal dialogue
• Speak and think kindly of yourself
• Give yourself permission to be human and flawed
• Interrupt rumination by refocusing
• Avoid judgments and assumptions
• Don’t be too strict with yourself; don’t be overindulgent
• Our flaws and setbacks should connect us, not divide us
• Forgive yourself for making mistakes
• Be open to possibilities
• Meditate
• Practice mindfulness – a state of nonjudgmental awareness
• Spend time doing things you enjoy
• Find common ground with others – create connections
• Remember you are not alone
• Don’t lose faith in your potential
• Nurturing self-compassion is tough on your own; find a supportive coach
