Self-compassion: The Core of Healthy Living


09/09/2020

Being kind and compassionate to yourself can have many benefits. It creates a much-needed buffer for stress and the constant wave of news, worries, and unpredictability that can come from the world around us. Here are a few points to think about and see if you can incorporate into your day.
  • Mindfulness
            - Taking time to be aware of our suffering and need for self-compassion
            -  Willingness to face our pain and suffering, and address it with compassion
  •  Self-kindness
             - Supporting ourselves
             -  Being warm and open to ourselves and our experiences
  •  Imperfection
              - Reminding ourselves that brokenness is the human condition
              - Feeling connected, rather than isolated, in our suffering
