Be Your Own Support System by Cultivating Self-Compassionate Mental Toughness

We live in a divided world where people are more concerned with their egos than they are with the wellbeing of their fellow humans, add to that a pandemic, war, an uncertain technological environment, unstable political structure and we have got anxiety and stress that very few of us can gracefully deal with and again, considering we are constantly engaged in this fight or that, we really can't look to our neighbours for support. 

We need to develop an internal system of support and develop resilience in order to handle the challenges that life will inevitably throw our way. In this episode, we discuss an approach that combines self-compassion and toughness, allowing individuals to be gentle and mindful when necessary, but also prepared to fight and thrive during difficult times.
