Valeria Teles interviews Nate Terrell, the author of Achieving Self-Compassion: Giving Yourself the Gifts of Happiness and Inner Peace.
Nate teaches how we can achieve self-compassion and find greater happiness and inner peace by: •Being our own best friend •Developing beliefs that work for us •Knowing we are inherently worthy •Not projecting our needs onto others •Choosing happiness and peace of mind •Taking great care of ourselves •Tuning into our “authentic self” •Eliminating negative reactions •Appreciating what we already have •Enjoying the present moment.
Nate Terrell has witnessed and experienced the healing and transformative power of these strategies in his work with clients and his own quest to be more self-compassionate.
He lists additional strategies that we can begin using today to live our lives with abundance, fulfillment, and serenity - we deserve it!!! Many people believe that it is selfish to be self-compassionate. However, there is nothing selfish about eliminating self-criticism, treating ourselves with kindness, feeling worthwhile, being happy, transcending our worries or finding a peaceful place within. These gifts, which we can give to ourselves at any moment, will fill us with positive energy and caring that we can pass onto others.
Nate Terrell is also a therapist in private practice in Mullica Hill, New Jersey. He provides coaching and training on self-compassion, mindfulness, and many other related topics.
