INTERVIEW
When life is heavy (enter self-compassion)
Positive psychology doesn’t deny pain. It says: bring compassion to it. On tough days, your “win” might be brushing your teeth, texting a friend back, or stepping outside. Let that be enough. Self-talk like “This is hard, and I’m doing my best” is not indulgence—it’s fuel for the next right step.
Talk to yourself as your own bestie!
Why this pairs with holistic work
Cognitive practices train attention and meaning-making; somatic and energetic practices (like Reiki) help the body feel safe enough to receive them.
Together, they create a loop:
Calmer body → clearer mind → kinder actions → steadier body.
Healing becomes less about “fixing” and more about remembering what’s already within you.
You don’t have to renovate your life to feel better. You can start with one breath, one value-aligned act, one moment of awe. Small joys, repeated, become a big shift. And that shift (quiet, consistent) adds up to a life you don’t have to wait to enjoy.
