Start the New Year with Self-Compassion | Health Discovered

In the first episode of the new year, Dr. Pathak takes a different approach to traditional New Year’s resolutions (https://www.webmd.com/balance/features/psychology-of-new-year-resolutions). Rather than overwhelming you with the pressure of becoming a “new you,” this episode encourages listeners to appreciate and love the “you” that exists right now. With a focus on embracing and accepting the current version of ourselves, we explore the transformative power of self-compassion. Guiding us through this topic is our guest, Kristin Neff, PhD, (https://self-compassion.org/) a pioneer in the field of self-compassion research and author of the books Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself, and Fierce Self-Compassion: How Women Can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power and Thrive. Dr. Neff explores mindfulness (https://www.webmd.com/balance/what-is-mindfulness), empathy, fierce self-compassion (https://www.webmd.com/balance/features/how-to-be-kind-to-yourself), and helpful practices we can incorporate into our daily lives to show up with an open heart and mind.
