Episode notes
Self-Compassion Boosts Resilience
- Self-compassion lowers stress and builds resilience by combining giving and receiving compassion benefits.
- It reduces emotional costs of failure, making people more willing to take appropriate risks and persist.
Self-Compassion vs. Being On Your Side
- Self-compassion is softer and more tender than simply being 'on your own side.'
- It's not self-pity or complaining; it comforts you when knocked down and helps you move forward.
Compassion Reduces Complaining
- Complaining often lacks warmth and stems from seeking attention or care.
- Receiving warmth and care from others or yourself reduces complaining and helps you move on.
