Self-Compassion
Summary
Do you want to learn about self-compassion? Do you want to understand how to embrace your soul and love yourself again? Having compassion for oneself is really no different than having compassion for others. Think about what the experience of compassion feels like. First, to have compassion for others, you must notice that they are suffering. If you ignore that homeless person on the street, you can’t feel compassion for how difficult his or her experience is. Second, compassion involves feeling moved by others’ suffering so that your heart responds to their pain (the word compassion literally means "to suffer with"). When this occurs, you feel warmth, caring, and the desire to help the suffering person in some way. Having compassion also means that you offer understanding and kindness to others when they fail or make mistakes, rather than judging them harshly. Finally, when you feel compassion for another (rather than mere pity), it means that you realize that suffering, failure, and imperfection is part of the shared human experience. "There but for fortune go I." Self-compassion involves acting the same way towards yourself when you are having a difficult time, fail, or notice something you don’t like about yourself. Instead of just ignoring your pain with a "stiff upper lip" mentality, you stop to tell yourself, "This is really difficult right now, how can I comfort and care for myself in this moment?" Instead of mercilessly judging and criticizing yourself for various inadequacies or shortcomings, self-compassion means you are kind and understanding when confronted with personal failings. After all, whoever said you were supposed to be perfect? Here is a preview of what you’ll learn.... What is self-compassion? Let go of self-talk behaviors and people that do not serve you Why are some people compassionate towards others but not to themselves? How to manage stress How to overcome rejection Why self-compassion and self-acceptance are the keys to optimal living Difference between self-kindness and self-judgment Much, much more!

Codependency
Summary
Do you want to learn about codependency? Do you want to learn how to let it go and love yourself again? Codependency is a term that was coined a few decades ago. Among addiction counselors, it was noticed that the caretakers of alcoholics, as well as drug addicts all had very similar emotional symptoms. Further research indicated that caretakers share traits of enabling personalities: They tend to lose themselves while engaging in the care of another addicted person. Codependent then implies that one is dependent psychologically on one who is dependent on a substance, behavior, or something else. Codependents are those among us who worry obsessively about others. Most codependents were emotionally abused as children. They were made to feel psychologically invisible, and very often, suffered various forms of abuse, including physical, sexual, verbal, or psychological. The consistent theme among codependents is that they can think for others but not for themselves. Codependents pair off in relationships. It is not possible to have a codependent relationship with one who is not codependent. Noncodependents do not appreciate feeling smothered, overly relied upon for their partner's sense of satisfaction, and do not enjoy empty praise. Codependents tend to whine and complain rather than act on their behalf. They complain about how sorry they feel for themselves and wallow, sounding as if they prefer the world to see them as the martyrs they falsely believe that they are. Here is a preview of what you'll learn: What codependency is Is being a codependent the sign of a bad relationship How to recover from codependency Characteristics of codependents Tips for recognizing codependency symptoms How to gain self-confidence and set a positive mindset for yourself How to track back your codependency and understand where it all began Much, much more!
