#44 SELF-IDENTITY, SELF-COMPASSION
& SELF-ACCEPTANCE
WITH HANNY ALLSTON
"I truly believe that there is not just a difference between self-compassion, but also a sequential order at play. Self-acceptance must proceed self-compassion. "
Today on the podcast I am trying something completely different, a solo ramble about the summer just gone, the lessons I have learned and the insights that hopefully this can provide you. With Jess now off flourishing in her fine-arts career, I decided to take to the microphone alone. I was empowered to do so after meeting so many of The Find Your Feet Podcast's listeners up at th recent Ultra Trail Australia events, and to then later hear your stories of success, excellence and also the slips & misses too. So often I was asked, 'do you wish you were running?' and every time the deepest, honest answer from me was, 'No.'
No, I was happy just being me, cheering from the sidelines and whooping with exhilaration as you nailed your goals. As you will hear in this podcast I am loving the exploration of helping others as well as coming back from a significant injury sustained in December. This injury put me onto a new path of self-discovery, one that involved coming to understand self-identity, self-compassion and self-acceptance.
I am really excited to deliver this podcast today. I hope you enjoy listening, reflecting and delving into the question, 'Who am I?'

"It is important for us to ponder on the difference between self-compassion and self-acceptance. Too frequently I work with clients who take baths, change their diets, have massages and exercise – all in the name of self-compassion. But here I challenge us all, ‘is this for self-compassion, or to make me feel better about myself, to mask an unhelpful identity that grasps me?’
"It is important to begin to hear those inner voices that say to you, ‘I am…’. "
