Calming Down Racing Thoughts

In ten engaging sessions with Tara and her fellow presenters, the Radical Compassion Challenge explores:

  • Self-Compassion

    Why compassion begins with the person in the mirror (we can’t give what we don’t have), and how to receive practical guidance on being kinder to yourself

  • How to Widen Our "Circles"

    Learn to extend compassion to broader and broader circles, from friends and family, to your neighbors and coworkers, to the larger communities we share

  • The Neuroscience of Compassion

    Discover the evolutionary advantages of compassion, and the ways that our natural compassion can become either blocked or enhanced

  • The RAIN of Compassion

    Experience Tara Brach’s multipurpose meditation for releasing shame and blame, finding forgiveness, returning to presence, and deepening compassia

  • Healing Through Love

    Learn about the power of “revolutionary love” to transform our world, accessing the divine feminine warrior within, and ways to keep our hearts wide open

  • Gratitude, Appreciation, and Understanding

    Teachings and practices for seeing the good in others, finding our common ground, offering support, and expressing appreciation

Are you struggling with an intensely critical inner voice?

#$%@, I messed up again.

I’m so stupid.

I’m such a loser.

What is wrong with me?

Something has to be wrong with me.

How am I going to explain this

this time around?

I’m so behind.

They already got a job, house, and family!

I will never catch up.

I’m so lazy

They are going to think I’m a failure.

I will just work harder

to prove myself.

Whatever I do is never enough.

Why am I always so sensitive?

I wish I was someone else.

Stop being so insecure.

They think I’m crazy.

No wonder no one likes me.

I hate myself. I need to fix myself.

Keep it together already!

Are you ready to silence

the harsh voice of self-judgment?

I find it hard to be kind to myself

If something goes wrong, I automatically blame myself

I don’t deserve to do nice things for myself

I am very critical of myself when things aren’t going well

I am very critical of myself even when things are going well

When I am having a hard time, I wouldn’t even think to look after myself like I would for a friend

I focus a lot on my faults and flaws and can’t let them go

If I make a mistake, I give myself a really hard time

When I’m struggling, I don’t treat myself with much care

I have hard time accepting mistakes I’ve made or things I haven’t done well

I think over and over about things I don’t like about myself

I am not very gentle with myself when I am suffering emotionally

If I make a mistake, I feel like I should be punished

I feel like I’m the only one who struggles or fails at things
