How self-compassion can make you more successful, happier and more confident.
Life Coach Andy Hix has helped hundreds of clients overcome some of life’s biggest challenges: anxiety, depression, anger, addiction, divorce, insomnia...to name a few.
Through his work, Andy has noticed that nearly always, these issues have the same root cause - an excess of self-criticism and a lack of self-compassion.
In this interactive session, we bust the myth that self-criticism drives you towards self-improvement. We touch on studies that show it makes you less willing to take risks and believe you can succeed at something, more likely to be anxious and depressed, and in fact less able to improve.
We explore Mindful-Self Compassion, developed by Dr Kristen Neff and Dr Chris Germer, a proven methodology for improving health, relationships and life-satisfaction.
We will practice some of the key tools for training self-compassion, that participants will also be able to take away and practice.
People consistently come away from my sessions feeling less stressed and overwhelmed and more calm, clear and positive.
When I discovered meditation in my late twenties, I went from being anxious, distracted and disconnected from my emotions to feeling much more relaxed, happy and fulfilled. My passion comes from sharing what has helped him in a way that’s easily accessible to others.
During the covid lockdowns of 2020, I set up my own men’s group as a way to explore my relationship with masculinity and deepen my ability to be vulnerable and open with other men.
Mindfulness is not something you ever finish learning. I am continually working to deepen my practice through courses, coaching, retreats, reading, podcasts, yoga and meditation.
