I’m excited to share that I’ll be presenting “Quieting Your Inner Critic with Mindful Self-Compassion” at 3:00 PM on Sunday, March 1 — closing out the show!

This experiential session invites you to pause, breathe, and gently soften self-doubt and perfectionism while learning practical tools you can use right away.

You can also find me at Booth 410 with Fabric Art Rocks throughout the event — come say hello!

Coming soon: short mindfulness practices added to my workshops, and a beautiful September retreat near Cobble Hill (Vancouver Island) blending Mindful Self-Compassion and Paverpol sculpting. Stay tuned 💛

When babies are born, they first develop their sense of touch. As we get older, we forget that physical gestures of support such as stroking, massaging, hand-holding, and hugging are vital to our well-being. Being touched can help us better handle stress and other life challenges, and it even works when we give ourselves supportive touch.

Aljoscha Dreisoerner and his colleagues just published a paper showing that soothing self-touch (e.g., placing a hand on your heart for 20 sec) and being hugged can keep your cortisol levels low during a stressful situation.

The paper is free to read for everyone: bit.ly/32izOux"

This poem is titled, "The Courage to Surrender" by Kim Stafford. I wonder why so many of us struggle with this concept of needing courage to go with the flow. Do you think the resistance has more to do with the word than the concept? What are your thoughts? Let me know in the comments!

When we struggle, we give ourselves compassion not to feel better but because we feel bad.
