The Life-Changing Power of Self-Compassion with Michael Todd Fink
But if you practice self-compassion, you get some knowledge about who you are...
Ever been told to 'love yourself first' and felt it was easier said than done? In this episode of the 'Kind Mind' podcast, Michael Todd Fink dives into why self-compassion, rather than self-love, should be your starting point. Recorded live at SpeakEasy Spiritual Community, Michael unpacks how our minds often cling to negativity, shaping our experiences in ways we might not even realize.
He suggests that by practicing self-compassion, we can achieve a deeper self-understanding and strike a balance between discipline and freedom. Intrigued? You should be. Michael also touches on various forms of yoga like karma yoga and jnana yoga as pathways to self-knowledge. But it's not just about yoga. He emphasizes the importance of caring for both our mental and physical spaces, which can profoundly impact our relationships and overall well-being.
Through relaxation, self-awareness, and gratitude, Michael believes we can all learn to practice self-compassion and lead more fulfilling lives. So, if you're looking to transform your life from the inside out, this episode is a must-listen.
