#012: Redesigning Your Love Blueprint with Terri Cole

Self-Compassion

Self-compassion is crucial for healing and personal growth. Terri Cole explains that our internal voice often mirrors the harshness we experienced in childhood, and practicing self-compassion involves treating ourselves with the same kindness we would offer a loved child 1. She emphasizes the importance of self-acceptance and self-love, noting that many people feel a profound sense of relief when they finally let go of their self-criticism 2.

You have to establish at least having as much compassion for yourself and the child that you were.

--- Terri Cole

By addressing these internal dialogues, individuals can set higher standards for their own well-being and relationships.

   

Meditation

Meditation plays a pivotal role in healing and developing self-compassion. Terri Cole shares her journey with meditation, highlighting how it extends the space between trigger and response, allowing for more thoughtful reactions 3. This practice helps individuals process their emotional baggage and uncover deep-seated wounds that influence their behavior 4.

Meditation taught me how to extend the space between trigger and response.
