Learning From My "Failure": 3 Tips For Greater Compassion

Everyone makes mistakes, but it's how we learn from them that makes all the difference. In this video, I share three tips for greater compassion. I also share how I am personally applying these tips regarding my most recent "failure". I put quotes around "failure" because after my initial disappointment I am seeing this is an opportunity to learn, grow and connect. What am I talking about? The Mindful Journaling Group! It didn't take off the way I expected. How do I not take this personally? How do I recognize my negative emotions without being overwhelmed or suppressing them? As having a "Growth Mindset" is critical to overcoming food challenges, I hope you take these 3 tips and apply them to your own life! Inspired by the compassion research from Dr. Kristin Neff, 3 keys to compassion so you can grow from failures: #1 Universal Humanity - Recognize many others are struggling with the exact same thing as you #2 Mindfulness - Feel the pain of the disappointment. Name it. Write it down. #3 Kind Self Talk - How would you speak to a friend if they were feeling disappointed? Say these words to yourself! Of course, it can be difficult to speak positively towards yourself or to get out of a rut.
