Why Self-Compassion is important?

Listen to the audio...

Because you chose this course, I know you know that self-compassion is important.

But have you considered why it's important?

Straight up, we homeschool mamas need to treat ourselves as kindly as we want to treat our kids.

(Because we can’t practice compassion toward our kids if we’re not practicing it with ourselves.)

How do you address self-criticism, self-judgment, not good enough, guilt, or perfectionism as a homeschool mama?

My intention is to impart self-compassion techniques to you.

You could, on one hand, not address it at all.

You could do the opposite of self-compassion for the homeschool mama:

  • just beat yourself up, make yourself feel bad,
  • remind yourself how horrible your parenting really is,
  • or at the very least, remember that you are a wee bit incompetent or incapable.

Or, you could address that nasty mean person in your head saying all those things and declare, thanks, but no thanks, I’ve got to learn a new way to speak to myself.

How do I propose that you do that though?

(It’s hard to get yourself out of your own head). I know you have stuff to do homeschool mama! And self-compassion is likely not on the list.

I have had a chance to practice self-compassion….and I am committed to practicing it till the day I die.

I strongly suspect I’ll always have a chance to learn to speak kindly to myself and include these practices in my life.

What do we actually do to change those self-criticizing, self-judging, not good enough feelings, shaming, and guilty feelings inside our mind?

We need to practice self-compassion strategies.

So let's get started!
