Lateral Kindness, Grace and Sustainable Compassion
6th International Critical Dietetics Conference Grenada, SpainIn our work as health care practitioners, we have the privilege of hearing people’s stories and witnessing their journey through difficult times with health and healing.

We need to be grounded in kindness, have open hearts, understand common humanity and have tools to manage our own reactions and triggers.

Mindful Self-Compassion 8 Week Training
Bethlehem Centre, Nanaimo, BC, CanadaMindful Self-Compassion combines the skills of mindfulness and self-compassion, providing a powerful tool for emotional resilience. Mindfulness is the first step in emotional healing—being able to turn toward and acknowledge our difficult thoughts and feelings (such as inadequacy, sadness, anger, confusion) with a spirit of openness and curiosity. Self-compassion involves responding to these difficult thoughts and feelings with kindness, sympathy and understanding so that we soothe and comfort ourselves when we’re hurting. Research has shown that self-compassion greatly enhances emotional wellbeing. It boosts happiness, reduces anxiety and depression, and can even help maintain healthy lifestyle habits such as diet and exercise. Being both mindful and compassionate leads to greater ease and well-being in our daily lives.
