ABOUT ‘CODES’
the model
While we would absolutely love every person to learn and understand the GLAS Method and framework, we know that this is perhaps a very ambitious focus. Therefore, we wanted to take what we have found in this research and the past 2000 days to provide something free of charge and valuable to anyone that is looking to make a difference for themselves – and therefore as a beautiful consequence, to those in their lives. To make someone simple and accessible.
The way we enjoy doing this is by creating tools and models for people to visualise and use. Our belief is that they must be practical and be things that can be implementable for the busiest of parents, leaders – as well as being something that can be transferred across generations, cultures and context. We also found that ‘self-kindness’ is incredibly personal. What and how it is applied to one person’s life will be different to someone else. The resulting model, from everything we’ve learned on the journey, is CODES – or in full: ‘CODES of Momentum: the importance of self-kindness in action‘.
The CODES of Momentum Model
There are 5 attributes – that create a circular system, this is the CODES model. The model understands that self-kindness is completely personal. In addition to the structure, we have created additional resources that can be chosen and used as required.
So now let’s clarify the definition of ‘self-kindness’:
“TO SEE AND TREAT OURSELF AS POSITIVELY AS THOSE WE VALUE, LOVE, PROTECT AND SUPPORT”
This basically calls for each of us to become a friend to ourself. We believe that ‘self-kindness’ is the umbrella that sits over 5 sequential areas, that we need to implement it fully:
Self-care
Self-empathy
Self-compassion
Self-responsibility
Self-growth
Each of these has a way of practically being implemented into our life – this is CODES.
