Enhance your year – and your life – with this  wellbeing experience, including self compassion, acceptance, gratitude and mindfulness.  Self-compassion helps you to be a true friend to the person you already are – you don’t have to wait until you’re perfect.  It’s a great antidote to perfectionism and it can help you turn down the volume on the critic in your head – we all have that critic but we can learn not to let it rule us. Mindfulness reduces stress and enhances your general well-being through helping you to cultivate present-moment awareness and to take a step back from the rush of thoughts and feelings.  Gratitude gives you a boost to your sense of well-being – research study after research study shows gratitude helps us feel more positive.  Acceptance can help you to move on with your life and to take new paths or to appreciate the path you are already on or to make peace with yourself and others when a situation cannot be changed.
