The exercises in this workbook are based on the research of Dr. Kirsten Neff, the author of the book Self-Compassion. Dr. Neff defines the three parts of self-compassion as "First, it requires self-kindness, that we be gentle and understanding with ourselves rather than harshly critical and judgmental. Second, it requires recognition of our common humanity, feeling connected with others in the experience of life rather than feeling isolated and alienated by our suffering. Third, it requires mindfulness—that we hold our experience in balanced awareness, rather than ignoring our pain or exaggerating it. We must achieve and combine these three essential elements in order to be truly self-compassionate.” Learn more about Dr. Neff and her work at self-compassion.org
I am a big believer in strengths-based coaching and positive psychology. By combing the two and adding in some of my horsemanship life coaching exercises to create my Revealing the Genuine Horsewoman Within Course, you can get these benefits in your horsemanship journey. Whatever equine activity you participate in, by practicing self-compassion, you can experience greater satisfaction along your horsemanship journey, reduce anxiety and self-critical thoughts, and increase your self-confidence.
