The overall aim of the practices in Mindfulness and Self-Compassion is to adopt a non-judgmental acceptance of whatever is there and befriending ourselves in the present moment. The goal is not necessarily to achieve a perfectly calm, relaxed state, but to be aware, to suspend judgement for a while, so we can practice kind acceptance of the here and now, as it is, with compassion. In this way, we are learning to relate to ourselves differently, so instead of being over-critical, we can orient our mind to appreciate with a kind and joyful awareness.

Mindfulness and Self-Compassion are complex skills. Start gradually 5-10 minutes every day and then increase to 20-30 minutes, once or twice a day. Some people will experience immediate benefits from the practice while for others, it may take a few weeks of daily practices before they notice the benefit and effectively start re-wiring their brain.
