The holiday season is a time to celebrate goodwill, not just toward others but also toward ourselves. In this video, Dr. Kristin Neff explores how we can intentionally cultivate goodwill and self-compassion through a version of the loving-kindness meditation developed in the Mindful Self-Compassion program. This practice helps build the habit of wishing ourselves well, even in a culture that often makes self-kindness challenging.

Start by directing loving thoughts toward a loved one and gradually extend this warmth to yourself. Research shows this simple yet powerful practice can enhance both mental and physical well-being.
