I know I talk a great deal about Self-Compassion, but I\\u2019m doing it again today!
\\nIn fact, I could easily talk about Self-Compassion every day and never cover anything else and you would still get just as much benefit!
\\nSelf-Compassion is that important.
\\nAnd I bring it up again today because Self-Compassion is especially important when we are trying to learn something new\\u2026 like, say\\u2026 mindfulness practices.
\\nBut seriously, any time we are trying to develop a new skill, we must commit to the process of practice if we want to reach our desired goal.
\\nAnd this is true of every single skill you\\u2019ve ever developed in your life!
\\nRiding a bike, writing, walking, playing a musical instrument.
\\nPractice, practice, practice, practice.
\\nBut here\\u2019s the thing:
\\nMost of these skills you\\u2019ve accumulated in your life were learned at a very young age before you practiced the skill of talking to yourself harshly and without support and compassion.
\\nAnd that is a major reason why most adults don\\u2019t learn new things!
\\nWe get a little way into it, we fail somehow, and because of the harsh and unfairly critical inner talk, we give up.
\\nSo now, as you are trying to develop this new skill of mindfulness, which will provide you with the tools you need to grasp your true happiness, I\\u2019m asking you to be kind to yourself.
\\nAt the end of today\\u2019s video, I provide a very simple practice that will shift this inner dialogue within a few weeks.
\\nBut this is also a skill and needs to be practiced.
\\nPlease let me know if there is any way I can support you.
