#CDC #DepartmentofPublicHealth #mindfulness #selfesteem #selfcompassion Do you treat yourself as well as you treat your friends and family? By Tara Parker-Pope - NY Times That simple question is the basis for a burgeoning new area of psychological research called self-compassion — how kindly people view themselves. People who find it easy to be supportive and understanding to others, it turns out, often score surprisingly low on self-compassion tests, berating themselves for perceived failures like being overweight or not exercising. The research suggests that giving ourselves a break and accepting our imperfections may be the first step toward better health.

You might feel immobilized, not sure where to turn – or engage in acts that you think will reduce the sense of confusion, but they only end up making things worse. People may tell you to “stay grounded,” but what does it mean to be grounded? I see it as being aware of your body and present in your surroundings. But how can you get there when your mind has whipped you up in a state for anxiety and confusion? I have written a lot about the impact of  attention  on our experience. Our focus has a significant effect on our thoughts and feelings. Controlling our attention plays a crucial role in  managing social anxiety  and  dealing with unwanted attention from others . You can also use your attention to deal with anxiety and calm yourself down. Remembering that you have control over where you put your attention is key to managing your anxiety.
