Upgrade Your May: Day 11 - Self Compassion

Today we're looking at focusing on self compassion as a mindful practice. My course is entitled Mindfulness and Self Compassion because I genuinely believe this is the most important part of learning how to be more mindful. Yes we can put ourselves in the moment, take steps back, ground ourselves and breathe more consciously, but if we don't have self compassion throughout it all, the benefits just won't appear. 

I've said it before and I'll say it again, but Upgrade Your Day isn't supposed to be a woo-woo, sitting cross-legged,  chanting uncomfortably for hours a day. In my opinion that isn't realistic. It isn't for me, and I have a sneaking suspicion, if you're here, it's not for you either. Understanding that, and following a mindfulness journey that works for US is what this is all about. 

Listen to today's podcast where I talk to meself in more detail about this, and explain a bit about my journey to creating UYD. Click the podcast image below, or if you're reading this on a computer, scan the QR code to get it on your phone. 

Our freebies for today are an info sheet on self compassion and a mindful colouring page! If you need a refresh on the mindfulness of colouring in, you can have a look at Day 6 of Upgrade Your May for the info sheet on that.  Just make sure you take just a few minutes for yourself today to colour. Just simply colour. Switch off. Focus on a simple task. Then get on with the rest of your day refreshed and ready to go.
