Self-Compassion Is the Secret to Peak Performance w/ Krisin Neff

Why is it often so difficult for people to practice self-compassion? Psychologist Kristin Neff is here to tell us. She works with top CEOs, entrepreneurs, and athletes to help them perform better, enter creative flow-states, and separate their success from their self worth. In this episode, Kristin pinpoints simple shifts we can make to be kinder to ourselves in order to achieve more.

In this conversation you’ll learn:

– How self compassion helps prevent burnout and boost performance

– How to draw appropriate boundaries and pace ourselves

– What the “reset method” is and how to do it

– What mirror neurons are and how they can help us parent more effectively

– How to practice mindfulness without having to meditate
