Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself by Kristin Neff

I’m usually a quick reader. Even with the work around a book club book I may like to complete, I found this one changing from exciting to starting to having some resistance to reading. I liked the topic of this book and I’m glad that I have read it. Self-compassion isn’t something that I’ve practised for myself but is something I will give and encourage others to practice. There are techniques within this book that I’d like to continue doing. However, I found that I was struggling to read the book with the number of exercises woven within each chapter. I think I may have related to them better if they were at the end of the chapter. Or some within and the others at the end of the section or the book. Even with that said, the exercises made me pause and reflect on how I was treating myself. I believe I did more meditation during reading this than I had before, even with a meditation goal. I loved the author’s own story and showing how it can work in the everyday.
