Self Compassion And Healing And Mindfulness


Quote from the article:
Meditation is one popular method of achieving mindfulness. Meditation can deactivate the brain’s “default mode,” the energetic state the brain is in when it’s not focusing on a specific task. In default mode, your brain might dwell on past regrets or future worries.

One way to bolster self-forgiveness is to write yourself a supportive letter, the type you might send a friend. A recent study showed that people who wrote a short, compassionate letter to themselves about a distressing situation every day for a week felt better, and had lower symptoms of depression and higher happiness rates even six months later.
