Improving Your Wellbeing: Acceptance, Self-Compassion, Mindfulness & Finding Happiness | Jessica Paton

Lara Rebecca Season 10 Episode 6

Today I am joined by Jessica to discuss the intricacies of wellbeing, providing valuable insights into effective de stressing methods and fostering a positive mindset.

We explore the importance of self-compassion, the power of connecting with our emotions, and the invaluable practice of mindfulness. We also discuss the concept of reshaping perspectives and avoiding additional suffering, with Jessica encouraging the acceptance of difficult moments, rather than compounding them with self-judgment. 

Jessica also provides strategies for soothing, understanding, and challenging our inner critic, employing positive psychology and gratitude to counteract negativity bias.

Finally, we discuss happiness and gratitude, the value of intentional reflection, and strategies of increasing neural pathways to recognise uplifting moments, and cultivate a more fulfilled and content life.

Overall, this podcast highlight the value of awareness, present moment thinking, and acceptance. By understanding our thoughts, fostering a non-judgmental mindset, and embracing our emotions, we can navigate stress, enhance self-compassion, and ultimately cultivate a more balanced and fulfilling life.
