Although it feels easier to be critical―“I hate my body,” “She makes fun of my efforts to eat mindfully”―in fact, it’s actually easier to forgive.

Forgiveness also diminishes the stress that comes from judging ourselves and others. The process begins by forgiving ourselves: our mistakes, feelings, and habits....

On one occasion, I do remember mapping out a mental list of errands that needed done once we were finished coloring in the mermaid coloring book....

Despite its ever-growing popularity and mounting evidence of its benefits, mindfulness as it is being taught today is not without its critics. Ron Purser is one of them. In his book, Purser assesses the contribution that mindfulness is making in helping people to reduce their stress and enhance their well-being, and finds it wanting.

You’re not avoiding difficult conversations because you’re bad or broken. Your brain is protecting you. Self-compassion helps you face the discomfort of tough conversations.Self-compassion is not selfish or passive. It’s courageous. With that in mind, it is crucial that we not only start having difficult conversations, but that we start learning to master them. Along the way, practicing self-compassion is key to transforming the muck of difficult interactions—the blame, shame, resentment, and anxiety—into moments of connection, solutions, and leadership in our relationships at home and at work....

It turns out that the narrator and my two high school friends aren’t the only ones who feel this way. A recent study looking at the effect of random acts of kindness on both the giver and receiver found that many are suspicious of kind gestures.
