Spirituality: Learning to Have Self-Compassion

Jessica and I talk a bit more about Spirituality this week and how self-compassion is a huge part of a spiritual practice, as well as a necessity for good mental health. It's hard to practice self-compassion when you live in a world that looks down upon it. Self-compassion also gets roped into negative terminology, such as narcissism or self-indulgence. But when practiced in the right mindset, self-compassion is a great tool to use for an overall healthy lifestyle. We give our own reasonings as to how and why we practice self-compassion, and ways you could incorporate this trait into your own daily routine.

We also tie in self-compassion with another facet I like to use in my own healthy living routine, the Enneagram Test. The Enneagram has been traced back to the ancient Greeks, and is used widely today to help assess personality traits. It consists of 9 numbers on a scale that looks very similar to a geometric math problem. Based on a series of questions, you are "placed" into one of these number categories and you might even cross over into several numbers. It's a great tool to help you understand your own self, and to also understand the personality traits of the relationships around you.

There are lots of websites promoting this particular test, and a source I like to reference back to for understanding and learning about the Enneagram is a book titled, "The Road Back to You," by Ian Morgan and Suzanne Stabile. It's available in print format from Amazon and Barnes and Noble, and is available in audio. There is also an entire podcast series dedicated to this book with some great interviews from guests. I suggest you check it out and learn about your own number!
