Be Kind to Yourself

Releasing Frustrations and Embracing Joy

By: Cindy Bunch, Ruth Haley Barton - foreword

Narrated by: Nan McNamara

When we experience frustrations in daily life, we often hold ourselves to blame.

Self-criticism is often our default setting. But we can have a more gracious posture toward ourselves. We can practice disciplines of self-kindness.

Editor and spiritual director Cindy Bunch calls us to self-care through greater compassion for ourselves. She helps us pay attention to the frustrations that bug us in order to identify negative thinking about ourselves or others. As we do so, we can discern what we need to let go. This allows us to lean into the things that bring us joy. Each chapter is filled with spiritual practices and creative exercises for reflection and celebration.

Be kind to yourself. And discover new opportunities to embrace joy.
