HeartMath Institute

HeartMath is a scientifically-based system that combines heart-focused techniques with biofeedback technology to help individuals reduce stress, improve resilience, and enhance emotional well-being. It focuses on achieving “heart coherence,” a state where the heart, mind, and emotions are aligned and working in harmony, which has been shown to improve mental clarity, emotional balance, and physical health.

Self-Love

Foster self-compassion and acceptance to transform inner struggle into wisdom and authentic well-being.

Self-Compassion Quiz

This quiz, developed by Dr. Kristin Neff, determines how self-compassionate you are and helps you increase your self-compassion awareness. Learn how to be kinder to yourself, or at least be more aware of the little voice inside your head.

Self-Compassion Practices

A series of practices that will help you become kinder to yourself. My favourite is the 5-minute Self-Compassion Break.

Greater Good In Action

Science based practices for a meaningful life. They share articles, quizzes, videos, tips, and tools for a happier life and a more compassionate society.

Self-Discovery

Reconnect with your true self and uncover your innate strengths, passions, and purpose.

The Enneagram

The Enneagram is a powerful tool for self-awareness and personal growth. It identifies nine distinct personality types, each with its own core motivations, conditioned patterns, and pathways for growth. By understanding your Enneagram type, you’ll uncover unconscious habits and behaviors that may be holding you back, allowing you to break free and live more authentically. Through this discovery process, you’ll find clarity and deeper self-awareness, empowering you to move forward in your personal journey with greater ease and fulfillment.

VIA Survey

The VIA (Values in Action) is a model that identifies and categorizes core character strengths. Developed by psychologists Martin Seligman and Christopher Peterson as part of the positive psychology movement, the VIA classification includes 24 character strengths, grouped into six broad categories known as virtues: wisdom, courage, humanity, justice, temperance, and transcendence. The VIA model is helpful because it promotes self-awareness and personal growth by allowing individuals to identify and leverage their core strengths, leading to greater well-being and fulfillment.

Morning Pages

Julie Cameron, the author of The Artist’s Way, shares a powerful practice which she describes as “three pages of longhand, stream of consciousness writing, done first thing in the morning. There is no wrong way to do Morning Pages–they are not high art. They are not even writing. They are about anything and everything that crosses your mind and are for your eyes only. Morning Pages provoke, clarify, comfort, cajole, prioritize and synchronize the day at hand. Do not over-think Morning Pages; just put three pages of anything on the page…and then do three more pages tomorrow.”

Self-Expression

Align your outer life with your inner truth by sharing your gifts and living with intention and meaning.

Kitchen Table Chats
