Day 8: Practicing Self-compassion

Shades of Strong® | Supporting Black Women in Redefining Strength, Rewriting Narratives & Celebrating Authenticity

My strong is practicing self-compassion by embracing kindness and understanding towards myself. Welcome to Day 8 of our 'me-first' journey! Today, we're diving deep into self-compassion. It's about embracing kindness and understanding toward ourselves, especially when we face challenges and don't meet our own expectations. We've all been there, placing unreasonable expectations on ourselves—eunrealistic demands on ourselves, seeking perfection in every decision and criticizing ourselves when we fall short. Practicing self-compassion means showing ourselves the same empathy and support we offer others, particularly during moments of self-doubt and pressure. This practice allows us to cultivate a more balanced and nurturing relationship with ourselves. If you're looking to cultivate more self-kindness in the midst of life's challenges, this episode is for you. Tune in to discover how practicing self-compassion can help you embrace peace and resilience, even during hectic times. Be sure to join our upcoming Un-caped workshop on July 30th, where we'll dive even deeper into these topics. Save your seat with the link in the show notes.
