Be a Better Friend to Yourself - The art of self-compassion
‘You need to be kinder to yourself’. It’s great advice, but did you know we are wired to do the exact opposite? Especially when we are busy and under stress, it is difficult not to put pressure on ourselves to do more and more.
But being kind to yourself - self-compassion - is linked to increased feelings of happiness, optimism, curiosity and connectedness, as well as decreased anxiety, depression, rumination and fear of failure.
So, there's a better way …
Join us for an engaging and interactive session with Kate Diggle, where you'll discover practical strategies to strengthen your self-compassion capabilities. Through hands-on activities, you'll learn how to be kinder to yourself and enhance your well-being, as well as your productivity and resilience, just in time for the busy end-of-year season.
This event is perfect for professionals looking for a better understanding of the potential outcomes of caring for self while networking with like-minded peers.
Don’t miss out - register today and take the first step toward a more self-compassionate, balanced you!
