Quite often we extend compassion to a friend when that person has experienced disappointment.  

Why is it that we're harder on ourselves when we experience a negative outcome in life?  Why is it so difficult to treat ourselves with kindness and support?

Practicing self-compassion leads us down a path to be our own best friend, giving ourselves understanding and compassion when we need it the most. 

If you'd like to further explore self-compassion, please note that  Denette Mann (featured in the video) will be teaching an online and short Mindful Self-Compassion course which will run six consecutive Sundays, from 2 to 3:30 pm. The course begins on Sunday, August 9th.  This first class on Aug. 9th is complimentary.  Should you want to continue with the rest of the course ( 5 additional classes), a donation will be accepted.  

Denette Mann is a licensed professional counselor in Dallas.  She is also the first Certified Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) Teacher in Dallas. 

As a recap, your key takeaways from this short Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) course are: 

* Apply self-compassion practices to motivate yourself with encouragement rather than self-criticism 

* Be able to handle overwhelming emotions with greater ease 

* Approach difficult situations with calm, resolve and self-motivation
