2020 Life Lessons: Harvesting Gold From a Crazy Year (You’ve Made It To the End!)
Wow, what a crazy year 2020 has been!

The Power of Self-Compassion to Avoid Burnout
For many people, perhaps even for you, it’s easy to express compassion when your loved ones are undergoing hardships.
But can you direct that compassion inward?
When you’re tired, overwhelmed, and feeling the signs of burnout, can you express love and forgiveness towards yourself?
It can be a little difficult, right?
You might even feel guilty about practicing self-compassion. And this guilt likely stems from internalizing a few myths about self-compassion.
How New Year’s Intentions Can Help You Beat Burnout
