Mindful Self

Over years of developing and teaching their renowned Mindful Self-Compassion program, Kristin Neff and Christopher Germer have found MSC to be uniquely helpful for people struggling with the soul-draining depletion of burnout--from health care professionals, teachers, and caregivers, to tapped-out business owners and employees.

If you want to live a life of purpose, build good habits, and achieve your goals, there is one skill that is more important than anything else: self-discipline. Self-discipline is not about self-punishment; it’s about self-respect. It is about living your best life. It is the superpower of focus in a world of distractions—allowing you to overcome procrastination, excuses, bad habits, low motivation, failures, and self-doubt. With it, you can stay on track with your values and goals even when you don’t feel motivated.

Over his decades of experience as a therapist and mindfulness meditation practitioner, Dr. Christopher Germer has learned a paradoxical lesson: We all want to avoid pain, but letting it in and responding compassionately to our own imperfections are essential steps on the path to healing. This wise and eloquent book illuminates the power of self-compassion and offers creative, scientifically grounded strategies for putting it into action.

Mindfulness is not about complicated and otherworldly woo-woo spiritual practices. It doesn't require you to be a part of any religion or a movement. What mindfulness is about is living a good life (that's quite practical, right?), and this book is all about deepening your awareness, getting to know yourself, and developing attitudes and mental habits that will make you not only a successful and effective person in life, but a happy and wise one as well.

Recognizing one's self-image is a crucial step in comprehending how self-perception influences one's behavior and interactions with the environment. Our thoughts, perceptions, and attitudes regarding our looks, talents, and general values make up what is known as our self-image. Society norms, individual experiences, and the opinions of others all have a role in shaping this multi-faceted concept. Building a positive self-image is essential for a joyful and successful life since it guides our actions, choices, and feelings.

Too often, life just races by. You don't fully experience what's happening now, because you're too busy thinking about what needs doing tomorrow, or distracted by what happened yesterday. And all the time your mind is chattering with commentary or judgement. Mindfulness allows you to experience the moment instead of just rushing through it. Being mindful opens you up to new ideas and new ways of doing things, reducing stress and increasing your enjoyment of life.
