10 分钟Welcome to Happiness Break.
I'm Dacher Kelpner.
Burnout is something so many of us deal with these days.
Feeling drained, disconnected from work, exhausted.
But here's the good news.
Self compassion can help.
Research shows that treating yourself with kindness and support when you're struggling can make a real difference.
It not only helps prevent burnout,
but it also makes it easier to recover when you're feeling worn out.
So today,
today Dr. Kristen Neff will be guiding you through a self compassion practice to help with recovery and renewal.
Kristin's life's work is the study and teaching of self compassion.
And she's the co author of Mindful Self Compassion for tools to help you heal and recharge when you're wrung out by stress.
When you're ready, here's Kristin.
Self compassion refers to the way that we show up for ourselves when we're struggling,
when we're suffering in some way.
And my research shows that when we can be with ourselves in times of difficulty,
with warmth and support, remembering that we aren't alone,
that it's only human to struggle, that our mental health vastly improves,
we're less depressed, we're less anxious.
