Self Compassion Challenge For Those With Illness, Complex Trauma And Child Abuse

[ms spock]

@Ms Spock when I first started on self compassion it took small steps, at those times when I was in self attack mode and was unable to be self compassionate it was simply enough to tell my self to stop the attack. Learning to treat my self as I would my best friend or my child. If I wouldn't treat friend like that, then I wouldn't treat myself like that.

That is most sensible, and framed like that is seems doable. Thanks shell.

That is such a sweet thing to say @void. I really appreciate your kindness to me and r...

You're welcome @Ms Spock:hug::happy:

@Ms Spock I'd like to be in on the private message, I will try to follow it as best I can. I know I am doing a somewhat different thing, but I am doing it for self compassion as well as to make me Love God and others better. After all, LOVE is the essence of life, right?

You are right on track @SheilaKathy - doing your own version or brand of self compassion is encouraged. Even Kristin Neff says in her Compassion Break - choose the words or gestures that are meaningful for you. So you are doing what is right for you - and we will all be doing a slightly different thing as we tailor make self compassion for ourselves. You are on the right track, for your self and that is a good thing to my mind.

I have been thinking of running a Self Compassion Challenge for awhile now.

I was thinking of a 30 Day...

I would like to participate in this challenge please when is it starting ?

I would like to participate in this challenge, as well. I've never received a personal message here. I'm assuming it will show up in the envelope by the flag above my name?

Wow. Compassion towards self. Just had an avalanche of thoughts tellling me why this is not a good idea and how I can screw that up.

Sign me up, please.....thank you.

I guess we have already started - but a lot less structured than out Mindfulness Challenges @Oasis we are already doing different practices in the private message.

@Aarow you are signed up - look in your conversations and you will see you have a message there. So look at the top right hand side of the page and you will see an flag icon, (that is for your alerts) then next to that is an envelope icon. Click on the envelope and it will show you your conversations.

Ms Spock, I clicked on the envelope, and there was a list of folks who were in the challenge, but no note with details?

I am using the three steps of the Compassion Break on a regular basis at the moment, and it is helping.

http://self-compassion.org/exercise-2-self-compassion-break/
This has the three steps written out for you to read.

and
http://self-compassion.org/wp-conte...01-Kristin-Neff-The-Self-Compassion-Break.mp3
Which has Kristin guiding you through the Self Compassion Break like a mini guided meditation.

Kristin Neff has it on her website for free, which is generous. After the next bit I am going to read Self-compassion : stop beating yourself up and leave insecurity behind by Kristin.
