Today is International Self-Compassion Day. 💗

Established in 2024 by the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion, International Self-Compassion Day is observed each year on the third Saturday in July. The day was created to increase global awareness of self-compassion and invite people across cultures to pause, recognize our shared humanity, and practice responding to themselves with greater kindness during difficult moments.

In honor of International Self-Compassion Day, I am sharing “The Healing Power of Self-Compassion” from the practice blog. The article reviews the psychology of compassion, the research-supported benefits of self-compassion, its three core elements, and how harsh self-criticism can intensify distress. It also offers a brief introduction to Compassion Focused Therapy and practical ideas for bringing more self-compassion into daily life. Details on reading more can be found in the comments.

Happy International Self-Compassion Day! 💗

It’s Stress Awareness Day! In the spirit of raising stress awareness, you’re invited to learn about how mindfulness can help us manage stress and anxiety.

What comes to mind for you when you think of mindfulness? Perhaps meditation, yoga, or something different all together. As far as a definition, mindfulness is the practice of bringing one’s attention to the present moment in a wholehearted and non-judgmental fashion.

If you would like to learn more about how mindfulness can help with stress and anxiety, then check out my latest blog post. Key findings from the scientific research on the psychological benefits of mindfulness are reviewed. Tips on how to use mindfulness for stress and anxiety in our own lives are also provided.
